The following Everyday Savings Tip comes from, Erin:

Feel like you need to eat a big, hearty serving of meat with every meal? Clueless about the possibilities of cooking a wholesome meal without a side of meat? Think vegetarians are all hippies? Well, think again.

You can save up to fifty dollars per month just by buying less meat at the grocery store. You can still get your protein and other nutrients by eating a well-balanced diet with plenty of leafy greens, beans, vegetables, tofu, and more.

Think: pastas, stir-frys, salads, casseroles instead of heavy meat-focused dishes. If you’re stumped about what to make for dinner this week, try googling “easy vegetarian recipes” and start saving (and eating healthier) today!

Do you have ways to save on food budget busters?
