Meatless Monday: Creamy Vegetable Casserole


by Original Author: Kylie Harris, Searcy County | Adapted for Blog: Torrie Smith, Van Buren County

Meatless meals are gaining popularity because they are cost effective. Shopping smart doesn’t just have to mean skipping the meat. Follow these tips to save more!

  1. Eat before you shop. Being hungry can lead to impulse buys and less healthy choices.
  2. Look for sales flyers and discounted items.
  3. Use coupons BUT only for things you need and use.
  4. Scan the whole shelf, top to bottom. Stores usually stock the most expensive things at eye level.
  5. Buy store brands when possible, they’re cheaper.
  6. Check the back for the freshest items, especially in produce, meat and dairy.
