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.
