📕 The Home Savings Manual — 79 ways to stop overpaying for your own house: https://brendacarver.com/ Put last January's grocery receipt next to the December before it: same store, nearly the same cart, and January cost more. Nothing on the shelf changed. The calendar did, because a lot of the companies that make your food set their new prices to start January first, while you're too busy with the holidays to look. Our grandmothers stocked the pantry before the year turned, and never paid the new-year price for the same old food. In this one I'll walk you through 13 groceries to buy before January, while they still cost less: 🥫 Frozen vegetables, canned tomatoes, rice, dried beans and canned fish for the pantry 🍊 Frozen orange juice concentrate, and nuts bought on the holiday sale and frozen 🧈 Flour, sugar, baking chocolate and butter while the stores use them to pull you in ☕ Cooking oil, beef for the freezer, and the one I stock heaviest every year: coffee …and why your own fresh start gets sold back to you at a markup every January. Buy part of next year at this year's price and the calendar can't rob you. A little planning keeps your family fed and your money right where it belongs. If saving money and running a smart, thrifty kitchen sound good to you, subscribe and stick around — that's what we do here every week. 💛 What's the one grocery that's gone up the most where you live?
