Ways to Eat Better for Less
| Cooking experts say that with the right ingredients and recipes, affordable meals are just a grocery away. Here are some ways to Eat Better for Less *Plan ahead. Shopping with specific meals in mind for the week ahead makes it easer to buy in bulk and repurpose ingredients. *Do it yourself. Instead of buying a package of grated cheese, buy a chunk and grate it yourself. *Rediscover eggs and beans. Even though the price of eggs has gone up, they're still cheap compared with meat. *Go meatless. Cooking vegetarian meals often is a good way to save money. *Reinvent leftovers. Extra rice can go into a fried rice dish the following night. *Use what's in the fridge. Use up what you have in your fridge before buying more. |
