Food from restaurants can cost significantly more than food cooked at home. A plate of pasta with red sauce can cost less than a dollar if made at home; at most restaurants it will cost you well over $10. So we buy ingredients for the entire week’s meal plan on that one shopping trip.

Consider the household products you buy – reduce the toxic chemicals in your home and improve the health of your family and the planet. Read food labels – we have become dependant on processed foods in our busy lives but in the process have lost much of the nutrition of the food.

So we just give up on trying to control expenditure and saving. This can be as simple as forgoing dinner out sometimes and cooking at home more; taking your lunch from home sometimes instead of always buying it; and the oldie but goodie – giving up one expensive Starbucks coffee a day.

Make it a habit to incorporate at least 5 different coloured foods a day into your diet. Cook at home. Cooking at home not only saves you money but it also keeps you in control of what you are putting into your body. By planning ahead, the task of cooking at home doesn’t need to be time consuming.
Saving Everyday

I buy the big bunches of kale when they go on sale at Whole Foods and easily get 2-3 meals out of them and I ADORE the roasted frozen corn at Trader Joe’s. Just a regular gal who loves cooking and loves food! If you are new to the site, my cooking is focused on two things. Serve immediately.

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. We especially never put anything consumable (like gas, food, eating out, movies and etc) on a credit card. Peggy: Oh yes! The Spectrum Group.

You can have lots of fun with this, so give it a go. Ever heard financial gurus telling us to give up our daily Starbucks coffee and save the money? Then a friend told me how she learnt about delayed gratification – putting off buying stuff until she could afford to pay cash. I discovered I really love to cook.
