Things I do to save money on food thats good for me

Tweet

I've been trying to save money on food and everything else like most people. Things I've been doing are 1)Buying the makings for sandwiches, subs, soups etc and making them at home rather than buying ready made I also freeze said soups and sandwiches for later & for convenience Its cheaper to make 12 of the same thing than it is to make 2 at a time. 2)Growing a garden. I save on peas, carrots, potatoes and lettuce. I also grow cucumbers radishes and tomatoes but those aren't things i typically will buy if i dont have them in the garden 3)Eggs from farmers or the hudrites (sorry i know thats spelt wrong) 4)I buy fresh fruit like blueberries and strawberries, or pick them then freeze them for use in smoothies, parfaits and other cold desserts. I hate paying 7 dollars for a bag of frozen fruit! Picking of course is cheaper! 5)Getting meat directly from a farmer/rancher - yes you get a whole side of pork or beef and have it done the way you want it...but you pay less in the long run than you do buying from a supermarket. 6)Eating less takeout. 7) More water less juices, pops, milks and such. 8)Buy in bulk or on sale and use coupons If its somethign i use often even if i dont need it right away and its a darn good sale (like flour) I buy it and store it in the pantry Does anyone else have other suggestions for me? Things they do?
