Creating a Shopping List

Make a list of the meals you would like to eat, for the week.

Choose various meals, to keep a well-balanced diet and cooking fun!

Planning out your week can save you time in the store.

Before you even head to the store, take stock of what you have around the kitchen.

Make a list of ingredients you need for your meal plans.

Knowing what you need means you won't be spending extra money on food you already have, or don't need.

Now that you know what you need and what you have, write out a list to make sure you stay on track.

You can organize your list to streamline your shopping and makes sure you don't miss a key ingredient for your next dish

To stretch your dollars, check your local papers or mobile apps for any store coupons that you can use.

Some grocery stores have a form of "loyalty" card that reduces the price of certain store brand foods.

Check out weekly sales and stock up on everyday items and paper goods such as toilet paper and paper towel.
