I always bring a grocery list when I’m shopping. It’s the best way for me to make sure that I only get the things that I need. I also cook most of the week. My co-workers think I’m crazy, but I save a lot of money doing that.

I like checking out new recipes for ingredients I already have…it’s a great way to try new recipes and prevent those ingredients from going to waste. As for lunch, we often take leftovers…I really don’t get why didn’t are so against it. I hate food going to waste. I shop at Target for a lot and always use the RedCard/Cartwheel…need to check out Ibotta. Aldi’s is good but not as convenient for me. Ethnic supermarkets have great prices for produce and meat. I guess Costco has good prices too but I can’t stand the lines and don’t like buying in bulk.

I am agree with the entire list, but honestly I use coupon only when I’m already going to buy that item…however I can suggest to buy seasona and local fruit and veggies…believe me is really savvy tip on long term and there is a plus to discover new recipes:D

The great thing about food is that with a little bit of effort, you can grow it yourself! For a few bucks, I just buy a tiny bit of topsoil, use a few planters that I found on freecycle, and grow my own strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce. And don’t get me started on fresh herbs!

In reply to Amanda @ centsiblyrich. I didn't really hit on gift cards much but we love using our Discover cashback for restaurant gift cards. Typically you can get a $50 gift card for $45 or even a $25 gift card for $20. Plus it's all cash back so the whole thing feels like "bonus money" to us.

In reply to Hannah. I remember reading that your husband doesn't like leftovers so that's great that you can get him to eat them one day a week! We are all in on leftovers so we typically only plan dinners throughout the week and that covers off on lunch the next day.
