There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. When I plan a menu, my spending is generally under control. When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Batch cooking: Buy in bulk, batch cook, and freeze in portion sizes.

Buy in Bulk – Buying in bulk can be tricky, but if you have a solid plan in place for how to use the food, it can save you quite a bit of money! By buying in bulk, we were able to get a lower price per pound than we would have paid for conventional potatoes! This ties in with my menu-planning goal as well!

I mentioned in my menu plan last week that I was planning to do some freezer cooking as well as a meal swap with friends. Mashed Potatoes – 14 (this was something extra I did to use up some potatoes that I purchased in bulk). I was VERY pleased with this book and everything we’ve tried has been delicious!!

If you are traveling with other families, splitting the menu planning will save you money and also give you a night off when it is someone else's turn in the kitchen. Also plan for gas, tolls and parking. Many local businesses have these books as well. My mom usually brings a meatloaf and soup/salad for her two nights.

If you are traveling with other families, splitting the menu planning will help alleviate some of the meal planning on your part and save you money, but be sure to discuss each family’s food challenges. Once you reach your destination and you''re settled in, find the local tourism center to scout out any coupon books.

Sending out bulk applications for a variety of jobs with the exact same resume is one of the worst ways to apply for jobs. 6.) Find sources of free food and menu plan. I sell books online, do freelance writing, online surveys, sell things on eBay etc. 9.) Look for side income possibilities.
