Tips used when buying this basket
Use a sales flyer
Stores post flyers of what they are having on sale. Many stores also have phone apps and websites that you can check for good buys!
Buy Items in their "Natural State"
The less altered something is the cheaper it will often be. This 8oz block of cheese we bought was less expensive than 8oz of shredded cheese of the same brand!

- Green or red cabbage is a great replacement for lettuce, it is less expensive and lasts much longer!
- Citrus fruits are a great item to have on hand. They last a long time in the refrigerator and their juice or zest can be added to many recipes for a bit of extra flavor.
- Crushed tomatoes are a great budget pantry item. They are often less expensive than spaghetti sauce, and can be used as a great replacement for spaghetti sauce. Just add a bit of garlic powder and some herbs.
