Thrifty Tuesday

FROZEN ISN'T ALWAYS CHEAPER When produce is in season, buying fresh is often a better deal.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING Many people get paid on the first of the month, so that's when the name-brand items go on sale. Prices on private-label and store brands drop at the end of the month when people have less cash to spend.

BUYING MIXES MAY BUST YOUR BUDGET They contain simple ingredients, so it's often easier to make baked goods from scratch.

BUY IN BULK don't just buy a pound of meat for a meat loaf- go for the less expensive family size. Us the extra meat loaf mixture to make meatballs, which you can freeze and you've got a cheap second meal.
