Use Coupons, Leftovers and Side Dishes

Saving money is on everyone's mind and saving on food is a great place to start. Coupons are definitely your friend right now. Clipping coupons for the things you buy often will help soften the blow.

When preparing food, try to save your leftovers to be reheated for lunch the next day. Using chicken or beef refrigerated from the night before to prepare new dishes saves a great deal.

Side dishes, such as rice, bread crumbs, mixed vegetables, and potatoes make meals go a little farther. I hope these few ideas help anyone who is trying to save money, especially at a time like this.
