Daily Frugal Tip: Buy Meat In Bulk

Reader Adrienne sent in the following great frugal tip:

“When I feel like I don’t have time to coupon, I still save money by buying meat in bulk, especially ground beef. I buy the 10 or 20 lb tubes and bring them home. My husband slices them into 1-lb sections and we put them in freezer bags and store them. Then I always have an easy go-to for “beefing” up a recipe. If I want to thaw it and brown it at the same time, but don’t have time to slave away over the stove, I will put 1 lb in my small crockpot and turn it on low. Presto! A couple of hours later, it’s ready to be drained and added to salads, pastas, or whatever we need to make a meal! And it seems like I have so much meat I don’t have to go to the store nearly as often!”

This one saves money AND time! You could also go meatless more often to save money.

Thanks, Adrienne!

Daily Frugal Tip: Plan Your Menu Around What’s On Sale

May 26, 2012

This post may contain affiliate links.
Click here for Disclosure Policy.

Somari e-mailed in a great frugal tip. We could all use a reminder on this very important way to save money on groceries without even using coupons:

“Once a month I check out the circular from two of my local supermarkets. One doubles the coupons and the other gives discount points for gas. I make up a monthly lunch and dinner menu according to what’s on sale. I clip my coupons to my list and that store’s circular. I have spent as little as $70 for one month in the past.”

Great reminder! Did you catch this tip on how to avoid spending traps at the grocery store?

What other ways do you save money on groceries (besides coupons)?

Thanks, Somari!
