Meal Planning

Meal planning means thinking ahead about what you will do for meals. Meal planning helps you eat healthier (less last-minute stops at a drive-thru), saves time, saves money, and reduces food waste. There is not one correct way to meal plan. Whether you plan for a few days, the week, or the month, it is all about finding what works best for you.

Grocery Shopping

Shopping on a budget may seem impossible, especially with the increasing cost of food. Taking advantage of sales, comparing prices, preventing food waste, and sticking to a shopping list are all ways to help you save money at the grocery store.

Depending on the time of year and the type of food, fresh may be more expensive. Utilize canned and frozen beans, fruit, vegetables, and meats as nutritious and affordable options.
