We’re not the only ones watching our spending on food
A few days after posting our food related spending, Blogging Away Debt posted a new strategy to reduce grocery spending. Thanks to several money saving tips shared in the comments, they’re working on a master list to share with others, read the details and share you own tip. I’ve read lots and lots of ways to save on food, but will be interested in seeing suggestions offered by fellow bloggers.
Some tips, like supplementing fresh milk with powdered milk may be just a little too frugal for some — however, we’re really appreciating how it is extending our $4/gallon milk purchases. Also, having dry milk on hand means NEVER having to run to the store just for recipe that calls for milk. Just last week the partner was almost out the door to get milk when I trapped him in the kitchen and whipped up a batch of powdered milk in seconds — that saved us $3 for the gallon of gas he would have used just to get the $4/gallon of milk back home and we were able to eat at least 45 minutes earlier than we would have if we had to wait on the milk run.
