Top 23+ Budget Shoppers Share Their Best Tips And Tricks To Save Money On Food
#1
Lentils! Lentil soup is the best! And dhal is awesome. And you can make burgers with them. Healthy, filling, versatile and delicious.
#3
Rotisserie chickens. One chicken will feed me and my husband for 2 meals each plus some snacking and the carcass can be turned into amazing bone broth. That's a lot of bang for $5
#5
Dried beans and rice. Infinitely customizable. A perfect protein. Great source of fiber. You can eat great tasting food for a week for $5 USD. $20 gives you options
#7
Canned garbanzo beans. Add salt , pepper , sugar and a spice of your liking. Lightly oil. Put in the oven for 20-25 mins 400F. Great crunchy low calorie snack. OrangeCoffee87 added: I make "not egg" salad with them. Great with crackers or in a pita.
#9
I'd say omelets. They are cheap nutritious and not hard to make if you practice and have a big flat spatula. There's also a thousand ways to make an omelet. I like mine with sautéed mushrooms and some goat cheese and herbs.
#11
Sourdough loaf with olive oil and salt and pepper
#13
Pb&J, add berries and it really feels decadent.
#15
Celery root. Baked in oven with olive oil, salt and pepper.
#17
I find a lot of canned meats and seafood are looked down upon but I really enjoy them. Spam, smoked oysters, sardines etc
#19
Spinach! I made this really nice spinach and artichoke dip last night, and it's so much better homemade. The stuff you find it stores is like 50% mayo and i think that's gross lol
#21
Canned salmon for salmon patties and canned chicken for casseroles and chicken salad.
