Smarter money decisions, one cent at a time.
I briefly touched on this aspect in my epic post 101 Ways to Save Money. There are tons of ways to save money on food. When I last examined, our grocery bill was the second most expensive item after our rent. Although I live alone, I eat out rarely.
Here are some things that I often do and are effective for keeping costs down while not neglecting good quality.
Couple of weeks back I got a mail from one of my readers. She mentioned herself as a regular reader. she wanted to see menu planning and frugal food related posts here. I asked her to give a few of her favorite low-cost recipes. Here’s what she came up with in 3 different emails. I can see the menu serves all tastes and food habit.
I always take the left over food for my lunch. In our cafeteria I see most of my co-workers buying food. Although subsidized, their per lunch cost must be more than what I pay for my boxed lunch. This compilation is made up of ingredients that are readily available, good for almost every taste and most importantly, they cost little less money than your regular lunch. About the time these preparations take, they don’t take more than an hour!
Let me first start with a disclaimer, this list is very mine. Your taste may differ. In this article I am going to talk about 5 cheap wines that I like most. These are easily available at your local grocery store. They are well known, good and they don’t cost a fortune.
Having wine is not exactly frugal behavior, still wine is now part of the lifestyle for many. I think, we must consume alcohol in moderation, not to lose the soberness and not to spend too much money on it.
