1. Eat seasonal foods
Have you ever noticed strawberries are more expensive in December than in June? Stores sell limited quantities of off-season fruits or vegetables. They can raise prices because customers are willing to pay more to have them year-round. If you’re on a budget, buy seasonal foods. Find out which foods are in season by searching the internet. You can also visit your local farmers’ market or join a community supported agriculture (CSA) group.
