Buy Less Expensive Food
To Cut Family Meal Costs
To cut food costs without lowering the nutritional value of family meals, buy the less expensive grades where such a choice is possible.
Standard packs of canned vegetables or fruits are just as high in food value as choice or fancy packs, but are less expensive. Grade B and C eggs are perfectly good for many purposes, and commercial and utility grades of beef can be prepared appetizingly with lower cost than the more expensive grades.
Evaporated or dried milk can be substituted in many dishes when it is cheaper than fresh milk. Canned citrus juices are frequently cheaper than fresh fruit and can furnish the meal's requirements of vitamin C.
Tomatoes, raw cabbage and turnips also provide a good supply of this vitamin.
Foods that are in season are usually the best buys, and such old standbys as carrots and potatoes are nearly always good bargains.
Whole-grained or enriched flour and cereal provide extra food value at little or no additional cost. Not only is molasses an inexpensive substitute for white sugar, but it also contains valuable iron.
