As an NPR subscriber, we thought you'd be interested in our latest newsletter, "How to Cut Your Food Bill": A 4-week crash course in meal planning, budgeting and more.
By Joe Hernandez, reporter on NPR's general assignment desk
Join me on a 4-week journey to cut my family's food bill. I've talked to experts and rounded up resources to help stretch food budgets.
Here’s how we’ll go about it:
Meal planning: Save money by thinking through your meals in advance and buying only what you need (while splurging with intention).
Grocery shopping: From choosing the right store to shopping online, we’ll discuss how to set yourself up for a cheaper grocery haul at the store.
Reducing food waste: It’s not just compost. There are lots of ways to use your food scraps and keep leftovers from going in the trash. Hint: don’t ice out your freezer.
Dining out on a budget: For many of us, it’s unrealistic to cook every meal every day. Fortunately, you can still order in or dine out without spending a fortune.
