Excellent post. Don’t forget to save your veggie scraps to make veggie broth. And then put them in the compost bin.

In reply to Kevin Yu. Good point! I would check with the store to be sure, though. In some cases, you do need to buy the required amount to get the discount. Not always, though!

Also, when you see a deal that says, “2 for $5”, a lot of people think you need to buy (2) of the same item in order to get the discount, when in reality, you just need 1 :)

Great tips! I ALWAYS have frozen corn and broccoli (my 2 favorite veggies) on hand, because they’re so easy to keep and work with. I also recently started buying spinach instead of romaine- not necessarily a choice initially driven by the lower one-time cost, but I’ve found that spinach tends to last longer than many other greens, so I don’t waste as much. And, like Kacie said, if it does start to wilt, I can sauté it and it doesn’t get wasted.

The tips I have are pretty general- buying generic when you can, buying in bulk when you can (beans, rice, etc…. easier to buy canned or “instant” varieties, but cheaper no to), using coupons when possible…

I’m a big fan of frozen and canned veggies – tomatoes, beans, corn and mixed veggies!

The difference between skinon and skin off chicken here is maybe $5 at most, but I still buy it. And sometimes I bake up the skin cause the boy likes it all crisped up and brown (I hate chicken skin myself).

I like spinach a lot. So does Johnny! We call it “leaves.” haha! Anyway, if I’ve neglected spinach a little too long in the fridge, I like how you can cook it and it’s still perfectly fine. Can’t really do that with a head of iceberg, now can ya?
