DELICIOUS BUDGET MEALS

Eating on a budget is made deliciously simple with my planned budget meals.

A few tips:

Plan your meals (including desserts, if desired), make a list, and stick to it.  Plan meals according to your grocery stores specials.

Plan on using leftovers (Mondays Pot Roast turns into Tuesdays Roast Beef Sandwiches).

Incorporate at least one or two meatless meals a week into your menu.

Reduce the amount of meat in recipes and increase the amount of another less expensive filler such as rice, beans, or pasta.

Make your own cookies, cakes and breads instead of buying them premade (they're tastier this way, too).

Compare prices.  You may be surprised to discover a sale item isn't always cheaper than another brand not on sale.

Browse through the discontinued and damaged items.  They are still good, and a lot cheaper.

Stock up when you come across an unbelievable buy.  Spending a few extra dollars one week will yield high rewards in the following weeks.

Never shop hungry.  You'll find more wanders into your shopping cart than normal.

Use coupons.  Better yet, couple them with an in-store special for an even bigger savings.

Shopping wisely, and following my Meal Planning Guide, will enable you to enjoy filet mignon, pork tenderloin and even lobster.  The key is in planning, price comparing and taking advantage of store specials.
