Savings Tips

Here are some ways to save money on food costs while still maintaining quality and nutrition.

1.  Make a detailed list and stick to it. It prevents impulse buying, assists in planning weekly menus and helps determine how much you really do spend on food.

2.  Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season. Not only do you save money this way, but the produce is obviously fresher.

3.  Plant your own fruits and vegetables. You’d be surprised at how much you can grow in a small space.  Low maintenance suggestions would be squash, zucchini, sweet peppers, or tomatoes.  Herb gardens are also easy to grow and a healthy way to add flavor to meals.
