Family Balance Sheet

NOVEMBER 12, 2014

Having a routine keeps me scheduled so that I don’t forget to prep something and end up tempted to eat out. By having a schedule and knowing what we usually eat, I can save money by buying many foods in bulk. Just be sure that your family will consume all of the food you purchase in bulk. The sky’s the limit.

I usually batch cook a few things on Monday that we can eat from all week. Some of our favorites are big batches of rice and cauliflower rice, breakfast sandwiches , sheet-pan omelets or frittatas , and gluten-free sausage balls. Repurpose leftovers. Eating up those leftovers prevents food waste, period!

When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. If we have a free evening, I’ll plan a more time-intensive meal, but if it’s a crazy evening with 2 kids at two locations, I’ll plan an Instant Pot or slow cooker dinner. You’ll be thankful later.

I use them regularly when we eat out at restaurants, and I will not shop at a department store without one, but grocery coupons are completely different for me. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. Batch cooking: Buy in bulk, batch cook, and freeze in portion sizes.

Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle. For lunch, we usually pack a cooler with food each day that we are at the beach and eat out somewhere for lunch on the one day when we need a sun-break. Create A Budget. Thanks for reading.
