Money Saving Grocery Shopping Tips
Everything is getting more expensive today. From gas to groceries, our hard-earned dollars are
challenged to stretch further. Now, we may be able to ride a bicycle around town if we can’t put
gas in our cars. But, we have to eat. There’s no getting around that. So, we have to find ways to
spend less on groceries while still getting the things that we need to feed ourselves and our
families. Here are six money saving tips to try the next time you go grocery shopping.
1. Clip coupons. They put those in the newspaper for a reason. If there are new items you
want to try, use a coupon to get it at a discount. If you like it, you have saved some
money. On the other hand, if you don’t take a liking to it, you didn’t pay full price. For me,
coupons save an average of ten or more dollars per visit. That’s money in my pocket that
I can put towards gas for the car.
2. Buy more staples than prepared foods. It is easier to buy a box of macaroni and
cheese, but is it more economical? A large box of macaroni and a block of cheese will
make more servings for your family than one box of prepared macaroni and cheese. The
next time you go shopping and pick up a box or bag of an already prepared item, ask
yourself if you can make that at home for less. If you can, then put that item back in favor
of less expensive staples.
3. Buy in bulk. Consider the food items that you use most often. Cereals, meats,
vegetables, condiments, juices, and paper products can be bought in bulk usually at a
lower price at food warehouses like Costco, BJ’s, and Wal-Mart. If you have a coupon,
you’ll save even more money.
4. Don’t shop when you are hungry. This is a definite no-no. Shopping on an empty
stomach means that you will pick up more things than you need. You are more likely to
pick up that bag of chocolate chip cookies or that box of donuts when the growling gets
underway.
5. Take a grocery list with you. This is another protection against picking up things that
are too costly. Check your cabinets and the fridge to see what you need and write them
down. Remember, the goal is to stick to the list as much as possible.
6. Shop at the same stores. This is more of a frustration reliever. In a new store, you
spend most of your time looking for things and walking up and down every aisle, which
oftentimes leads to forgetting an item or two. Going to the same store each time makes
you more familiar with the prices so you can estimate your bill as you write your grocery
list.
Rising prices don’t have to mean a lean dinner table. There are ways to make your food dollar go
further and if you take the time to implement the ideas listed above as well as others of your own,
you’ll see savings each and every time you shop.
Healthy Homemade Soups on the Go
In this day and age it can be hard to eat healthy. With your busy schedule, especially if you have
children, many people find it easier to grab whatever is available and the quickest and deal with
the health consequences later. With the following tips for soups on the go you’ll learn how to
make sure that the food you grab is of the healthy variety.
The problem with dealing with the consequences of unhealthy eating habits is that later is actually
closer than you might think. Later is right now. Sadly, we are a nation of obese adults and just as
many, if not more, obese children. Our unhealthy eating choices have caught up with us. You
might be asking yourself, “How can I eat healthy when I’m crunched for time already?”
One way is to make foods that can be taken with you on the go. One of those foods is soup.
Soup is tasty, filling, and good for you anytime, but especially on a cold fall or winter day. There
are hot soups and believe it or not even cold soups. Many of the warm soups are even good
eaten cold or lukewarm.
First, choose your favorite soup. A popular choice of many is the infamous chicken noodle soup.
There’s nothing better when you are under the weather than the warm chicken broth soothing
your throat. Campbell’s has a wonderful soup in a microwave container perfect for eating on the
go, but we are going to make our own soup for an even healthier choice.
The one thing that is best about homemade food is that you know what is and is not in it. Since
we are concerned with health, preparing your own soup creations at home is the best way to go.
No matter which type of soup you choose to make, be sure to use fresh ingredients. The other
items you’ll need are plenty of cups with lids and a blender.
Now it’s time to actually create your time saving soup. A good soup always starts with the stock.
For chicken soup, make the broth by boiling the remains of the chicken you had for dinner. Add
the herbs and seasonings of your choice and boil until the chicken bones come out clean. Any
remaining meat will be included in the broth. Once the broth cools completely, ladle it into air-tight
jars or containers for storing.
If you’re more of a beef and vegetable soup lover, you can use commercial canned broths or
bouillon cubes for the base of your soup. Season the stock really well and boil before adding any
other ingredients. Once the stock is ready, all that is left to do is toss in your favorite veggies.
Again, wait until the soup is completely cooled before pouring into storage or serving containers.
Now, what about that blender? It’s a bit difficult to eat soup the traditional way while driving and if
you are serving to your kids, the combination of a car and soup in a bowl is a disaster waiting to
happen. Here’s where the blender comes into the picture.
Pour some of the soup into the blender and blend until the pieces are small enough for you to
swallow without choking. You can even puree the soup completely if you’d prefer. For a thicker
texture, add a bit of cream soup. Now, your soup is ready for distributing in your to-go cups.
The ideal cup would be a coffee mug with a lid. These types of cups have a wide opening perfect
for drinking soups from. Be sure to prepare enough soup for the entire week. You can take the
soup with you while you’re out shopping, working in the garden or to work. A cup of soup is
packed with healthy nutrients and it won’t mess up the car or cramp your busy lifestyle. The next
time you don’t have time to eat, reach for a cup of healthy homemade soup instead of pulling into
that fast food drive thru.
Shish Kebobs
Do you have kids? They love to eat grilled food, too. A fun and healthy alternative to hamburgers
and hot dogs for them is to make shish kebobs. Shish Kebobs are easy to make and healthy for
those young and old alike.
Shish kebobs remind me of those scenes in old movies when they are roasting meat over a spit.
Unlike that scary unmentionable meat being turned over and over by the cowboys, we will put our
favorite meats and veggies on a stick and add some flavor.
Kebobs cook just like that mystery meat in the old days. Whether you are using metal skewers or
wooden ones, kebobs can be eaten without utensils making them popular with everyone from the
kids who eat them to the moms who have to clean up. Metal skewers may be too hot to touch so
if you have little ones, opt for the wooden ones. They are much cheaper and can be thrown out
afterwards.
When working with wooden skewers, be careful to soak them in water for at least thirty minutes
before putting them on the grill. A skewer that isn’t saturated will burn up on the grill and can
cause flare ups.
Now that the safety issues are out of the way, let’s get started with the fun of creating these
yummy shish kebobs. There are an infinite number of combinations you can make with your
favorite foods. Choose your favorites from lamb, beef, chicken, shrimp, fish, and pork. For your
vegetable choices, be sure to use veggies that can stand up to the heat of the grill without getting
mushy and falling apart. Some of the more common choices include tomatoes, bell peppers, and
onions.
Cut the meat and vegetables into one inch cubes. It is easier to cook them if all the food on the
skewer is of similar size. Round veggies like tomatoes don’t have to be cut into square shapes.
Just make sure that the size of the tomato is equal to the size of the other food. For more even
cooking choose items with similar cooking times for the same skewer. For instance, it won’t take
a shrimp or a scallop long to cook on a hot grill, but a chicken or beef square will take longer. A
square of zucchini will take longer to cook than a cherry tomato. The zucchini will also hold up to
the heat better. If you want a tomato on your skewer consider adding one to each end after the
kebob has finished cooking or just a few minutes prior to the meat being cooked through.
To reduce cooking time for chicken, boil boneless skinless chicken breasts for about twenty
minutes before cubing. By parboiling you are helping to avoid cross contamination. It’s also a
good idea to include only one type of meat on a skewer. When it comes time to put your shish
kebobs together combine the chicken with a variety of complimentary vegetables.
When using raw meat, prepare kebobs the night before and chill them with or without marinade. If
you marinade, be sure to drain any excess away before grilling. Let the skewers come to room
temperature before placing on the grill to aid in faster, more even cooking.
I love shish kebobs. They can be used as appetizers or the main meal over a bed of rice for kids.
Whether snack or main attraction, they are delicious. By mixing up the meats and veggies you
can enjoy skewers anytime without getting bored with the same foods.
