5 Tips for Reducing Waste and Saving Money on Groceries


Freeze Expired Bread & Tortillas

My Mom taught me this one!  Throw your bread in the freezer when it’s nearing expiration so you don’t have to throw it away.  Bread from the freezer is perfectly good and it keeps it from going to waste.  Whenever I buy english muffins I actually slice them all right away and then freeze them for easy grabbing later!


Freeze Fruits & Vegetables Nearing Expiration

Just like saving the bread, I try to save some fruits and vegetables that are getting old.  There are so many that can be frozen and tossed in smoothies.  I typically save berries, bananas, spinach, and kale.  Any produce can really be put in the freezer!


Limit Produce

Produce that can be purchased individually is a huge help for someone like myself.  My Mom used to laugh when she would shop with me because I would literally buy one orange at a time.  If you know you won’t finish larger amounts of fruits and veggies, reduce the amount you buy at once.  


Buy Frozen Fruits & Vegetables

I know that fresh produce is probably the better choice, but frozen is more cost effective and it doesn’t go to waste.  And let’s face it, frozen foods are just much easier to prepare and can save a lot of time in the kitchen.  


Wash & Cut Your Produce

You’ve heard this one before but it can definitely be helpful.  Having things ready to grab in the refrigerator is more appealing than having to wash and cut things when you decide you want them.  Do whatever you need to do to make sure that you grab the produce when you open that refrigerator!  Otherwise, we all know exactly where it goes.

My obsession with plaids is real 🤣 Found this My obsession with plaids is real 🤣 

Found this flannel at Target on clearance and only paid $11!  It’s super thin yet soft and cozy.  I suggest you go to your nearest Target and take a look at the clearance section for it, otherwise it is still online but for $21 instead (still completely worth it). Available in plus sizes and runs true to size! 

Also, as you can probably tell by this picture, we are not in AZ anymore. We are temporarily hanging out at all of our parents’ houses in MN until we learn of another job/location for Tommy’s work. 

The boots are from Target too and they were an urgent purchase once we got to MN since we didn’t pack any winter clothes 🤪  They’re too small for my feet (didn’t have my size) and they’re too short for capris lol 

(Please also take note of Tommy’s photography skills. They are improving).
