Shopping for your family's food each week can be a challenging experience.
Food is often the part of a family's spending plan that has the least amount of flexibility.
To make the most of your family's food dollar, you need to be aware of what your family is eating and know how much you are spending on food. Here are some tips to help you when you shop for food. Make an inventory of foods you have in the home. Plan menus for the week using the Food Pyramid. Make use of items you have on hand when possible, especially those that need to be used up before they spoil.
