101 Ways to eat cheaper

Just read this article by Ron about lowering your food costs. It's a pretty good list. I exercise many items on the list, but not on a regular basis, but the ones that I do most frequently are:

- Shop at a local farmer's market
- Buy the store brands
- Dine out responsibly
- Brown bag your lunch
- Check the per unit price on everything
- Cook in bulk

Some tips not on the list that I use:


- Tailor your meals/menu based on sale items at the grocery store
- Try to usually order water when dining out
- Save half your meal from dining out for another meal (particular dinner time when serving sizes usually are double)
