These are strategies I use weekly to help keep my grocery bill in line with 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. Use cashback apps. You’ll be thankful later.

Try replacing some paper products on your list with cloth and re-usable products that you probably have around the house and you will not only reduce your grocery spending, but you will also reduce your waste. I use flannel hankies during sniffle season. I have been using a Silpat Nonstick Silicone Baking Mat for years.

I pulled together a list of ALDI salad ideas using ingredients I found at the store. You will use red onions in other recipes. Use 1/2 – 1 full onion depending on your love of onions. Use as much of the pesto sauce as you’d like. I use about 1/2 – 3/4 of the jar. I used one peach per person.

I’ve never been a fan of southern sausage balls. I knew I needed sausage, and I knew I wanted to use Italian sausage, but that’s all I had. Use a cookie scoop to form little balls. Into the oven until golden brown… We like these with warm marinara, but they’re equally delicious with sour cream.

Using only cash while on vacation will force you to question each purchase, especially when it comes to spending money on unnecessary souvenirs--you won''t want to waste your cash. Usually there is enough leftovers for the last night to be a ‘clean out the fridge’ night. Indulge us with your summer plans in the comments.

Who uses so much stuff that they have to do restocks like this all the time? Who actually uses so many repeats of items, especially things like deodorant? I do think this makes sense on occasion When you have a huge container of something, it’s handier to pour it into a smaller container for regular use.

I am normally not a fan of bulk shopping at places like Costco. Being that there are only two of us in our household, we never use up bulk groceries before they go bad, making it a wasteful endeavour. There tends to be a ton of leftovers, and I suspect that many of them are wasted because they can’t eat them all.

Quickly scan the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer for things that you need to use before they go bad. I am a fan of leftovers, so I always make enough for at least two meals. It can be difficult for one person to use a whole package of something perishable like coleslaw mix. Shop sales. Learn to love frozen produce!
