Elliott Pantry |
Going to the grocerie store these days is crazy!!! I really dislike seeing bacon prices and the butter my, my... I have always been a believer of a stocked pantry (not my husband). I dislike the going out to eat prices even more. It is just my husband and I so I let it slide when he wants to go get his hamburger.
Tip for savings....Shop Your Kitchen First
"Before [buying] more food, look through your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry and try to come up with a dish with what you have. Let the contents of your kitchen dictate what you'll cook next.
Even if you're unable to create a full meal out of existing ingredients, browsing your kitchen allows you to establish a jumping-off point for the next dish. This way, you can fill in the blanks at the grocery store and only buy what you need to complete a meal, effectively shortening your shopping list. Need a center piece, use natural stuff you can find outside. Lucky me I have paper plates from a year ago. Looks like I am ahead of the game. I love Thanksgiving...Those pumpkins sitting on the porch, pumpkin pies coming up!!!
