Sarah’s Budget Tips
- Buy Beans in Bulk: While canned beans are convenient, buying dried black beans in bulk and cooking them yourself is a fantastic way to stretch your grocery budget even further.
- Freeze Your Tortillas: If you find tortillas on sale, grab a few extra packs and freeze them! They thaw out perfectly and prevent food waste.
- Use Up Leftover Veggies: The quesadilla recipe is a brilliant “fridge-clearer.” Instead of frozen veg, toss in any lingering fresh vegetables before they go bad to save money.
