PLAN YOUR MEALS

Plan your family's meal for 1 week. Write down what's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday of the week. You can include snacks if you want. Then make a grocery list of all the ingredients you need to prepare the meals. By that way, you will only buy what you really need. This will also avoid food spoilages since all the items you buy will be cooked and used within the week according to the meal planner you prepared. You can also allocate one dinner a week for eating out with the whole family. By having a list, you will also avoid emergency trips to the grocery store because you forgot to buy something. This will save you time and fuel.

Food is one of our major expense. Everybody eats. And if you don't plan it out, you're only flashing money down the drain.
