Recession-proofing your family is easy. In fact, you'll be amazed at how simple it is to save more money in no time at all.
Making money by spending less money, is the best gift that you can give your family. A fiscally responsible family that is financially literate will be able to survive any economy or face any adversity. Then, as a family you can give freely of your time, talent and money to causes and concerns that you spiritually believe in.
Let us begin with the grocery store. Health food can cost up to four times as much as empty nutrient foods, like cookies and chips. Take for example some varieties of organic produce, which can cost up to $5.99 a pound, where a fast-food cheeseburger may cost only 99 cents. But if you think that you are either destined to be fat or go broke, think again! Buy grains such as oatmeal, brown rice and quinoa in bulk to get a better price per ounce, and choose seasonal produce instead of expensive imported fruits.
Here are 5 Tips to Save At The Supermarket
1. Make a shopping list and plan meals for the week. Put down only the items you know you need and can use.
2. Write your shopping list the same order you shop.
3. Experts recommend that you eat before shopping to control your impulse purchases.
4. Make shopping a learning experience if your children are shopping with you.
5. Begin in the produce department and use the nutrition signs to select fruits and vegetables. Aim for produce with a variety of colors - yellow, orange, green - to ensure you get a variety of vitamins.
