Use up your food. No one likes second hand food, but if you fix it differently the second time around it can still be appetizing. With fresh food – buy only what you can eat before it goes bad. Buy dried milk to use in cooking – especially if you aren’t a regular milk drinker. Plan uses for your leftovers.

We have significant food restrictions so sourcing our own is helpful health-wise & cost-effective too. Used bookstores, fair trade products, and locally sourced food/baskets/pottery are favorites, in addition to monthly outings with my kids.
