Abstract: Ideas and suggestions are given for saving 25-40% on food bills and improving the taste and nutrition of the foods eaten.

Seasonal shopping, store buying, and use of supermarket alternatives, coupons, and refunds are some ways to cut food bills. Diet and nutrition information also is provided. Foods high in calories or cost but low in nutritive value can be reduced or eliminated without affecting food preferences. Bargains can be identified for all 4 food groups with a little bit of practice. Most mixes and convenience foods can be duplicated at home. Cautions are raised about health foods (their effectiveness and cost). (kbc).
