Saving Money on Food - Mom's Way
 
In a "gotta have the newest gadget world" some "old" ways are perfectly useful in today's kitchen.
In this "gotta have the newest gadget world" let us not forget some "old" ways are perfectly useful in today's kitchen. I recently recalled techniques my Mom used to save money and time. In this article I share some of those tips. Use the ideas that apply to your situation. Brainstorm your own.
1. Learn to serve less expensive meats; slow cook, tenderize, use a pressure cooker, etc.. Today's appliances for this type of cooking are much easier to work with than in the past.
2. Serve reasonable helpings. This prevents waste especially if your family doesn't like leftovers. Reasonable helpings keeps your weight down. It is also more healthy.
3. Buy bread at the "day old" store. You can't tell a difference especially when toasting. If you can't use fresh bread quickly enough before spoilage occurs, freeze it.
4. Save time on repeat items. Mom made enough homemade biscuits at breakfast for supper too. We refrigerated the made-up biscuits in a pie plate at breakfast, near supper left them out for a few minutes to room temperature, then cooked them.
5. Bake one and freeze one. Enjoy desserts? Make two pies, freeze one and eat one. One of our favorite pizza dough recipes allows us to freeze one dough ball, and cook another.
6. Buy no junk food and prepare "good" deserts; cobbler, crisps, fruit pies. We grew up with no weekly consumption of candy, sodas, potato chips, etc. These were saved for special occasions if we ate any at all.
7. Avoid convenience costs. Buy a whole ham and slice it yourself. Buy a chicken and cut it up yourself. Bake your own snacks and freeze in serving size.
These are just a few ways to eat better and save money on food. Adjust these tips to fit your location and lifestyle.
