In order to help our readers cope with, among other things, the repercussions of rising food prices, our new collaborator Myriam Gendron, creator of the site Simply eatoffers a low-cost menu every week based on the best grocery discounts of the week.
Week of November 14 to 20
Although it’s only mid-November, Christmas is just around the corner. And food is like gifts… when you’re strategic and plan, you’re often able to save a lot of money! It’s a good time to start planning your holiday menu: there are six weeks of flyers left before Christmas (including current discounts).
You can make a small list of basic or general ingredients that will be useful to you. Flour, sugar, chocolate and butter have increased significantly over the past year or two: this gives you time to watch for discounts and replenish your pantry without making a dent in your budget between now and Christmas.
Have a nice week!
