If you feel like your grocery bill has been creeping up, you\u2019re not crazy. Food prices have been rising for a while, and unlike other areas of your budget, groceries definitely fall solidly into the \u201cneed, not want\u201d category. So how DO you spend less money on food when you\u2019re feeding a family? In today\u2019s episode, Meagan and Sarah get honest about the areas where our food spending starts to spiral out of control, as well as how we approach leftovers, generic products, pantry inventory, and family-favorite cheap-o dinners. We also share some smart tips from an actual budget expert (ahem, not us). Make sure you listen \u2019til the end to hear Meagan\u2019s best tip! Join us.
