* Eat out less. Home cooking can be 3-4 times less expensive. Brownbag your lunch instead of relying on vending machines, conveniencestores and fast food
* Cut back on low-quality snack foods like soda, candy, cookies,donuts, and chips. Use the savings to buy more nutritious foods
* In the grocery store, purchase store brands. They average about25% less than national brands, and with many foods it's likely youwon't notice a difference in taste.
