Save Money On Groceries Without Leaving Your House!

This tip takes under 15 minutes and will definately help save you money! Go through your pantry about once a month.

• Note the dates on your items and make sure nothing will expire soon. By doing this, you automatically save yourself from waste.
• List the items you have and the items you are getting low on. By writing down your inventory, this will prevent you from buying it at the store, when its possibly not on sale. By noting what you are low on, you can write it down and look for it on sale in the upcoming weeks.
• Plan your means around your stockpile in your pantry. Go to http://www.supercook.com and enter your ingredients. I have used this from canned tuna to veggies to pasta. You can enter the ingredients you have on hand and it will tell you recipes you can cook. By using your stockpile and planning your menus from it, this can automatically save you from having to spend more at the store for that week.

Not only will this save you money but it will give your pantry that freshly organized look! If you notice that you have an abundance of an item that you don't think you will use, remember those less fortunate. By organizing my pantry this week I gave out three bags of food for my sister who is a starving college student ;)

Remember, this doesnt just apply to food. Go through your medicine and toiletries regularly. To help you remember, put it on your to do list for when you do the monthly things around your house such as changing your air filter or washing the curtains.
