And the food budget is right up there on Ihe front lines As other ex penses raise and seem less flexible, we try lo make up Ihe difference by culling lood costs or al least holding the line. We all have lo cal, which means we all have lo shop for food. Many o f us shop more freq u ently than needed because we d o n ’ t plan ahead Planning saves you m oney. Il helps assure that you'll eat until Ihe next planned shopping trip— which is becoming a primary goal as bud gets gel tighter. Here are some specific steps to help you gel more for your food dollar: 1. Read Ihe food ads in your local paper I his is usually a midweek is sue If you don’t take the paper reg ularly, it's well worth the price to buy that issue from the newsstand. Browse through the paper looking for food specials, coupons and spe cial prom otional ideas. The stores ate doing battle, loo, so they're get ting creative in trying to get your business. 2. Plan your menus fro m these ads If you actually take Ihe time to write menus down you'll save mon ey and time in the long run. I f you haven't ever done this, start by plan ning your main meals and just stock up on a variety o f breakfast and lunch items. Having written menus helps you with the "blahs,” "thaw s" and can even add to your c re a tiv ity . The " b la h s " arc those time when you just can't gel inspired about fixing one more meal. You can’ t think o f anything lo fix, no one will give you suggestions and y o u ’ re missing a key ingredient in the things that do come lo mind. I he " th a w s " happen when you start thinking about dinner at 5 p.m. and everything in Ihe freezer is froz en exactly as it should be, which makes h harder to fix dinner. Menus help you with your creati vity because you can actually pick out a new recipe that “ sounds good" and make sure you have all the ingredients needed. T h at way you don't get bored with the same old stuff all the time. I t ’s also good for your fam ily to face a few new dishes— they shouldn’t be getting in a rut cither. 3. Now that you know what you ’ re going to fix , make a shop ping list. If you’re shopping at more than one store, group the sale items and their prices under each store name. That way if you run into one o f the Hems that's cheaper you can make the purchase with confidence.
