You may be surprised at how much you and your family spend on food. First, have an organized list grouped according to the layout of your favorite store. This not only keeps you from impulse buying, it also saves you valuable time. Second, never, ever shop when you're hungry. Third, buy generic when you can.
Generic products are less expensive and are often the exact same thing as the brand names.
Finally, storing food correctly adds to its life, so you don't have to go back and re-stock as often. Take advantage of low airfares, travel out of season when possible and ask for discounts when making hotel reservations. Eat right, exercise tocontrol weight and stay in general goodhealth. Unnecessary medical treatments could end up costing more than they're worth. If you must go to the hospital, keep an eye on the charges and question any that seem out of line.
