Plan out your meals for the entire week — and check your pantry, fridge and freezer — before you head out to the grocery store to avoid making several trips to the supermarket during the week and blowing your budget. Compare grocery buys at Target and Walmart.
“This plan has the added bonus of saving you more money by not dining out,” said Fobes. “Let’s face it, when you don’t have something on hand to make for dinner, it is easy to just go out to eat.”
If a family dines out one additional time a week due to not having a menu plan, the meal can easily run $25 or more, Fobes said. That can add up to $1,300 a year.
