I know my dad got frustrated by the bills sometimes, and I must have absorbed that anxiety, because sometimes I get very anxious about spending money.

Freeze Your Leftovers. If you know it won’t be eaten in time, place leftovers in a freezer container, label, and store in the freezer. Want to save even more on your grocery bill?
