I have two kinds of ketchup in my fridge. Heinz for regular ketchup needs like hotdogs and Mac and Cheese. Generic cheap ketchup for sauces and cooking with. No need to use the expensive good stuff when generic does the job just fine.
Spice blends are a great way to save money. You need to have I say atleast 4 varieteies in your cupboard at anytime to make anything. You need a BBQ or Taco seasoning (just make sure it is natural and salt reduced or free), herbs de provence, garlic seaoning and some sort of Italian seaoning mix. They don't have to be these specifically but need to have the sort variety of flavors as these.
Go with the meats that are on sale that week. There is usually atleast two kinds of meat on sale so use them and make them in different ways to add variety.
DON'T SHOP ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!!!!
Keep an inventory on your fridge of the things you use frequently. If you have a stocked pantry you can make anything at anytime. So when you use up the last of something or are getting low on something write it on a list you keep on the fridge so that when you head out the door to do groceries you have a list of what you need ready to go.
Shop in your pantry. All of us have those jars, cans or boxes of things we bought but never figured out how to use. Take them out and use them before you buy something new. Don't know what to do with them ask me and I'll figure it out for you.
Have three variteies most of salad dressing in your fridge at any given time. They jazz up rice or veggies. You need 1 creamy, 1 oil based and 1 more of your favorites.
