Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

You usually have to buy a big quantity of things when you go to Sam's Club or Costco. So you might think it's a lot cheaper to go to small supermarket. But there's a way to spend less on food by going to Sam's Club or Costco. First step is to head to one of these stores.
Step 2

Buy a large quantity of your family's favorite food that they will all be happy to have for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For us, I bought 12 counts of hot pockets for under $12. 6 packs of Hormel Chili for under $7. 18 counts of microwavable Easy Mac (Macaroni and Cheese) for under $7 because this is kids' favorite meal. I also bought 8 microwavable bowls of Chef Boyardee variety pack for under $7. It includes ravioli, beefaroni, spaghetti& meatballs, and lasagna so you can enjoy many different taste with this package. The total cost was about $33 and this can last for so many days!
Step 3

If you go to a fast food store for 4 people, one time meal can be $33. So you see how cheap it can be to buy a large quantity of food at Sam's Club or Costco. Just make sure you buy some fruits and vegetables at your local store or open market and make healthy side dish too.
