Try this to save money. It's Grocery day but look in your fridge and pantry first. Figure out how many meals you can make and put grocery day off until the last day.

more about this idea...

I can usually get 3-5 days of extra meals doing this. You need to be a little creative and open minded. Hot dogs for dinner? Sure. Peanut butter and jelly for breakfast? Never. I do have my pride.

In the end you use up all the excess food that's just been sitting around in your freezer or pantry. It's amazing what you can do with a can of black beans.
