MILK  
Nonfat dry milk is the least expensive way to buy milk. When using it as a  
beverage, mix it several hours ahead and refrigerate so it can get cold before  
drinking.  
Buy fresh milk in large containers (gallon or 1/2 gallon). These generally cost  
less than quarts.  
Buy fat-free or lowfat milk to cut the amount of fat in your family’s meals.  
Note that children under 2 years of age should be given only whole milk.  
MEAT AND PO ULTRY  
Look for specials at the meat counter. Buying cuts of meat on sale can mean  
big savings for you.  
Buy chuck or bottom round roast instead of sirloin. These cuts have less fat  
and cost less. They need to be covered during cooking and cooked longer to  
make the meat tender.  
Buy whole chickens and cut them into serving size pieces yourself.  
DRY BEANS AND PEAS  
BULK FO O DS  
Use these sometimes instead of meat, poultry, or fish. They cost less and provide  
many of the same nutrients. They are also lower in fat.  
Buy bulk foods when they are available. They can be lower in price than similar  
foods sold in packages. Also, you can buy just the amount you need.
