Plan your week’s meals before you go to the grocery. Create a list and try to include vegetables and fruits that are in season, which will be cheaper. Buy frozen vegetables (which are just as nutritious) to ensure your food won’t go bad, and don’t forget you can make soups in bulk and freeze to use on a week when you won’t have as much time to cook.
