How to Save Money on Food
Use these 2 tried-and-true adages and a silly restaurant name to keep yourself on the frugal path
Google “how to save money on food” and you’ll quickly get a list of 15 ways, or 22 ways, or even a mind-boggling 31 ways to accomplish your goal (great goal, by the way). Nothing is wrong with any of the suggestions you’ll find on your search results page, and good for you if you can remember them all. I can’t.
That’s why I came up with 3 simple rules of thumb to use instead. These rules guide all of my food-buying decisions. It doesn’t matter if I’m in a restaurant, in a grocery store, or at the display rack of organic vegetable seeds at Lowe’s.
The rules are easy to remember, easy to recite to yourself while you’re shopping or looking over a menu, and easy to follow.
Here they are:
- Waste not; want not
- A penny saved is a penny earned
- Fung mei (whaa…?)
