Every Monday in 2015, I’ll be sharing a different idea to help you save money! Add all of these tips to your frugal repertoire and you’ll be able to save a lot of money this year! I hope you’ll gather a few new ideas or at least some inspiration from this series.
My sincere apologies for not having last week’s 52 Ways to Save post up! You’ll see my excuse in this post. I’ll be sure to have 2 in one week to get caught up 😉
One great way to save money on your grocery bill is to eat less meat. I’m not saying to get rid of it completely if you don’t want to, but by simply putting less on your plate, you will be saving a lot in the long run. Here are some ideas to help you get started eating less meat:
Don’t make it the focal point
Limit making meat the focal point of your meal. Instead, use it as a topping for pizza or salads, or put some into stir fries or soups. You’ll be amazed at how far meat will stretch when it’s added to something!
Have a meatless night
I’m sure you’ve heard of Meatless Monday, one day a week that many people have decided to eat a meatless meal. It’s actually a whole global movement that you can read all about here. The website also features a ton of great recipes that may interest you! While Meatless Monday is a “thing” you can do your meatless night on any night of the week 😉
If you family is having a hard time with the idea of having meatless meals, why not make it enticing by setting some fun goals? For example, you could put the money you’re saving by not buying meat for that meal into a vacation fund or even the local fair fund. Or perhaps you could use that money to go out for ice cream! Talk it over with everyone so you can come up with an exciting way to use your savings.
Stretch it with beans and lentils
If your family is really opposed to going meatless, it’s always possible to make meat stretch by adding beans or lentils. Mexican dishes, chili, and soups are meals that you can easily add in extra beans to replace some of the meat.
Lentils hide especially well in taco meat. Just add in cooked lentils to your ground beef along with your usual seasonings and there’s a good chance your family won’t even notice!
How do you save money on meat? I’d love to hear your ideas in the comments!
Welcome to the fourth and final week of the Eating from The Pantry & Freezer Challenge! Here’s what it’s all about or you can read the post from Week 3.
For those of you who have been doing this challenge all along, way to go! You’ve reached the end! And to those of you who have joined in at some point, even for a week, thank you!
I’m sure that by this point you’ve seen some significant savings or you’ve even noticed that you’ve been shopping less often. Even just a week or two of eating what you already have can make a big difference and help you put extra money towards larger grocery purchases, debt payments, or simply to help save up for something you’d like to buy!
Here’s my update from last week
There’s actually a bit more room in our freezers! Enough room that my father-in-law was able to store some stuff while he was looking for a new fridge/freezer after his broke.
But, as I suspected, I can keep going on this challenge for a while yet since we’ve still got plenty of food!
In total I spent about $25 this week on milk, eggs, produce and yogurt. I’m quite pleased that I’ve mostly been able to stay under my $25 limit for the week!
I’ve still got plenty of chicken, ground beef, steaks and a few already made freezer meals. So, we’ll be having some chicken dishes, and most likely some beef dishes! 😛
Here’s what we’ll be eating this week:
My mother-in-law is here with us this week so the plan may not go according to what I have written. But I’m going to try my best!

Now it’s your turn, what will you be eating this week?
Now that the challenge is coming to a close, has the challenge been difficult for you? What types of meals have frequented your table? And most importantly, did you get things cleaned out and meet your goals?
Happy weekend! I don’t know about you, but this week ended up being an extra crazy, full week. I didn’t get some usual blog posts finished (52 Ways to Save), swimming lessons, a birthday party, a girls night with a friend that popped into town, gymnastics, the unfortunate but expected passing of my husband’s Grandma, my Mother-in-Law coming to stay with us and the other normal daily must-dos. This weekend looks just as hectic with a baby shower/birthday party, my Sister-in-law arriving and then a funeral.
As full as it was, this week was actually life giving to me, not life draining. I’ve determined that it’s because I’m so very thankful that I have friends and family that I have contact with on a regular basis. People to celebrate with, cry with and simply do life with. That is a good thing! (now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to have a nap ;))
Here are the interesting links I came across on my travels around the web this week! Enjoy and have a great weekend!
