Today we chat about the expenses of supplying your household with food, and the social aspect of eating. Our friends, as much as we love them, influence us to spend money going out and, as a result, we neglect the groceries we spent way too much money on! Grab a glass and join the conversation.
Show Notes:
Groceries are expensive!
One-stop shopping versus shopping the town for the best prices
Value added: quality over cost?
Tip: Get “basics” at the lowest-price store you can (canned goods, dry goods, spices)
Food is a controllable expense… or is it?
Social pressure to spend money on food
Creating a social event out of saving money on food-- our ideas
Budget honestly for your social eating expenses
What happened to pregaming?!
Shopping based on what’s on sale, then planning your meals around what you bought
Balancing a busy life and economical habits
Wine of the Day: tastefully absent (the reviews are made up and the points don’t matter)
Questions:
Gretchen in Kent, Ohio: As a grad school student cooking for one on a limited budget, what do you suggest for eating healthy and keeping my funds in check?
