Budget Friendly Food Tips

Everything is SO expensive these days!
With grocery prices being what they are, why don’t we all share our favourite tips to cut the food costs!

This post will be updated with some of my favourite tips coming from you!

As for me;

Growing up poor, we ate a LOT of spaghetti. We were basically vegetarian, our most common source of “meat” was chicken hot dogs.
I also ate a lot of oatmeal. Our only fruits were apples and bananas because they were the cheapest.
When there was a sale, mum bought as much as she could, often sending myself and my brother through separate check outs with the limit as well. Then she would hold back some for a rainy day.

Now: we eat a lot of rice.
Most common meat source is ground beef. We still eat a lot of spaghetti but also Shepard’s pie, tacos… stuff that makes more than one meal and is easily stretched out by beans, lentils or rice.

Get into soups, the main ingredient is water!
Buy in bulk when you can, even if you split it with someone, the price per gram is usually lower.
Speaking of, make sure you look at your prices per gram. Bigger (or smaller) isn’t always better
