Tip 28: Plan meals, shop with coupons

A big money saver at my house is to plan out meals for the week and go grocery shopping to make sure we have all of the ingredients for the meals. This really cuts down on eating out and helps save money. Planning meal ideas in advance is important at our house- otherwise no one can agree on what to have for dinner and we end up eating cereal or sometimes ordering pizza or eating out.

Another benefit to planning meals is that you can look at coupons that you have to help select meals based on the good deals at the grocery store. It is a lot easier to figure out good dinner ideas when you are not tired and hungry at dinner time.
