Have a Mufti Meal Once a Week

One way to easily keep your grocery bill down is to have a mufti meal once a week to use up the leftover single serves and odd spoonfuls of foods you have lurking in the fridge at the end of the week, don't throw them out or add them to the dog food. To make it an easy meal set the food out buffet style and let everyone help themselves. Put out some tortillas or rolls, condiments and a plate of fruit to round out the meal (and clean out the fruit bowl and bread bin). To avoid arguments over favourite foods, make a 'first in line, first served' rule. It's like getting a free meal once a week.
