Frugal Food Tips and Meals

use carrots instead of baby carrots

wilted veggies are perfect

compare prices of single-serve produce versus larger packaging

plan your weekly meal plan around the produce that's on sale

freeze excess before it goes bad

throw overripe and softening bananas in muffins

softening bananas also be thrown in the freezer as-is

check pre-cut produce. occasionally you get packaged pre-cut products

buy larger quantities of produce when it is in season at the peak of quality and lower prices then preserve it - water bath canning when safe

buy only what your family will eat
