A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be a guest on Marketplace Weekend, where I chatted about two of my favorite topics: money and food.

As someone who writes about how to save money, I come across a lot of helpful, money saving grocery hacks. I talked to host Lizzie O’Leary about some of my favorites.

Check out the interview here. Or, listen at 42:00, using the player below. Actually, listen to the whole show; it’s hugely informative. And Joey Slamon’s money story made me cry.

Some of the resources mentioned in my interview:

• Supercook: I’ve talked about this website before, but to recap, it’s an incredibly useful tool for trying to make fun meals out of your leftover food items. Check it out!

• The Inverted Pyramid Method: I came across The Thriftiness Miss’s method for meal-planning a while back. Start with your largest meal, then work your way down, planning the next meal based on leftovers.

• The Backup Grocery List: A listener offered this tip, and my lil’ ol’ frugal heart skipped a beat because I do the same thing! I have a backup list of groceries, so when I’m too lazy to meal-plan, I can refer to the list, and I know I can make 4-5 good meals out of the ingredients.
