Well-Planned Meals Save Families Valuable Money
Simple tricks keep people from eating up thousands of dollars every year
Mastering meal planning can be the secret weapon for families looking to save time and money on groceries as back-to-school season draws ever nearer.
Practical strategies and tips help to streamline shopping, create delicious meals and ensure every family stays well fed throughout the academic year.
Freelance writer Rachel Morgan Cautero, along with money experts at Experian, took a close look at how meal planning saves time and money on back-to-school groceries.
“Effective meal planning can save you money by cutting down on food waste, extra trips to the grocery store and can eliminate the urge to get takeout in a time crunch, which is even more costly,” Cautero said.
Healthy Habits Lead to a Happy Life
One of her articles in Forbes explains this in “The Game-Changing Trick We Use To Save $10K A Year.”
Experian adds that meal planning is essential as it enables people to create a detailed grocery list, reduces the frequency and expense of eating out, and saves time spent deciding what to cook. Additionally, it creates a healthier lifestyle for the family.
