If you plan yours meals on a weekly or biweekly basis like I do, make sure to consider the weather forecast.  We are entering into grilling season and I made the mistake of planning some meals to cook on the grill last week without checking the weather and it put a damper on some great dinners I had planned and the hubby had to grill steaks in the rain because I didn’t want them to go bad and there is nothing like steak on the grill instead of a pan.  It was his comment about not checking the weather before I bought the steak that inspired me to add this tip to my meal planning suggestions.

Today’s tip is about knowing your store and the places to look to find the in-store markdowns.  Most of us have a store that we frequent the most and probably have the layout memorized which makes it much easier to do your shopping but do you pay attention to the spots where they put the marked down products?  If not, next time you are in your store, try to locate the special displays that have items like close to expiration date dairy items or meats as well as the day old bread items.  Most of the time these food items are still good for another couple of days especially if you freeze things like the bread or some cubed steak as soon as you get home and just thaw it when you are ready to use it
