I use coupons whenever I get the chance. I would have to say that I don’t pay retail for anything, except maybe gas.

With a large family ~ The key is menu planning. I try to watch for sale items and use coupons as much as possible. Once a week shopping to avoid over buying unnecessarily. With seven children and two grandchildren. I try to be a good scout for sales and holiday items that are staples to use for the next year. An extra refrigerator keeps my dry goods pest free and gives me added freezer space for leftovers. I buy snacks in large quantity and divide in my own ziptop snack bags about once every two weeks. I love this comment area, people really have some useful ideas. I am definitely going to put some of them to use. Thanks for helping stretch my dollar even more.

The easiest way for my family to save money on food is no not eat out. We thought it was so much cheaper to eat fast food then it was to buy food and make it…which we found out was wrong. We spent $150 more on fast food then when we purchased groceries and made lunch and dinner. So my tip is to not eat out…its bad for you and your pocket book will thank you later. Also, when you walk into the store know what you are going to purchase ahead of time…that way you won’t just start putting itms in your cart that you really don’t need.

My tip is to learn to cook fast and easy,keep it simple, ,cook everything at once. I know when I come home from work I turn on the oven,put chicken or whatever protein you are going to cook in ,put veggies in also,be potatoes or even rice(as long as it is covered with water) ,you then have at laest 45 mins to do other things,get the kids stsrted on homework .Salads are great for getting your fresh veggies too. Also line your pan with tin foil for fast clean up. Count me in to win

My family uses coupons and always makes a list before going to the store, And never go to the store hungry because your more likely to get things that arent on the list!

I’m going to say something preachy, something my Mom used to say and but which, only now that I’m a Mom I’m beginning to realize is utterly true – waste not, want not.

Basically, we stick to a vegetarian menu. There are lotsa’ different beans (either cooked from scratch or canned if on sale), whole grains, fruit (apples and whatever fruit is seasonal at our farmers market). Since years ago in Australia, I use powdered milk mixed up every other day (using warm water to mix and then kept chilled like other milks). Salads are a mainstay with spinach, celery, sweet onions, chopped dried fruit, a handful of nuts, and my infamous “to die for salad dressing” all seem to appreciate. Whole grain breads, cereals, and whole grain crackers round out this menu. Dessert can be added with mixed stewed dried fruits. And, I always have pots of tomatoes and herbs growing.

I use coupons, they and meal plan, and try to keep my shopping to just a few stores and only once or twice a week. Trying to cut down the gas. I also have a small garden and a few fruit trees so I can food for later.

Menu planning is the best. Also, coupon shopping and not staying wedded to one brand. Also, a small amount of meat added to veggies, noodles, or pasta can go a very long way.

We use to eat out a lot – four times a week. Now it is more like once a month. That has saves us a ton of money. Also we live on a 2 ½ acre lot. We have lots of fruit trees, and also grow artichokes. Right now the apples are ripe; so I spend part of the day making apple sauce and apple crisp. All the excess is frozen for use later. We trade our produce with other home farmers for variety. That also saves us a bunch of $$$$$. Of course I could still use the $500.00!

I shop rebates. Many drug stores have items (like shampoo, soap, razors, cold medicine, etc) that are free after rebate. As long as you stay organized, you can get a lot of really great stuff for free!
