Shereen Travels Cheap
JANUARY 10, 2024
Choose a meal to eat "at home". A quick trip to the grocery store is not only fun, but can save you money over dining out. At the very least, and most of what we do, is to bring back leftovers and eat those instead of going out for another meal. I am usually happy to hit up a coffee shop, but even that can add up.

When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. Everyone’s plate might look different, but you’ll at least use up the leftovers and reduce the waste. You’ll be thankful later.

I shop at the end of the season. actually rule of thumb : shop for kids clothes during ‘off season’ that is when you find the best sales. They were the leftovers. I do the same thing AND my kids eat healthy! Step 2: leftovers. any leftovers left and/or stockpile days. I wait for the good sale.

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. It may not seem like much at each shopping trip, but over the course of the year, our beverages can really add up.
