Seasonal Money-Saving Shopping Tips

5 Money-Saving Tips For Making The Most of Seasonal Berries

Berries are the jam...and so much more!

1. Toss ’em. Just a few fresh berries add color and nutrients to a salad or salad dressing, cocktail, mocktail or cooler.
2. Freeze ’em. Stock up when the price is right, wash and freeze in a single layer on a sheet pan and then transfer to a freezer bag.
3. Layer ’em. Add a handful of berries to your parfait with yogurt for breakfast or with ice cream for dessert.
4. Bake ’em. Gently fold into muffin and pancake batter. Cook a big batch and freeze some for later.
5. Dip ’em. Sweet meets savory in Strawberry Salsa. Serve as a dip or over grilled chicken or wild-caught salmon.

5 Money-Saving Tips For Grilling

Keep the fire going without burning through your cash.

1. Maximum Meat for the Moolah. Look for better pricing on lesser-known or leaner cuts such as boneless sirloin, flat-iron steak or skirt steak. Grill it hot and fast and then slice thin.
2. Go Wild. Spotlight wild-caught Alaska salmon without overspending by cutting it into chunks and serving over a salad such as Mediterranean Orzo Salad.
3. Grilled Goodness. Fill up plates with grilled summer squash, corn, peppers and onions. Grilling intensifies their natural sweetness and flavor.
4. Spread the Love. Go organic in your condiment cabinet without going broke. Choose 365 Everyday Value® Organic Ketchup, Relish and Dijon, Yellow or German Mustard.
5. Fruity Finish. Use your fire to its finish by throwing fruit on the grill. Serve grilled peaches with organic ice cream or drizzle pineapple with honey before grilling.

5 Money-Saving Party Tips

Party on…and on…and on.

1. Off-Peak Entertaining. Forgo dinner parties in favor of brunches, afternoon teas and evening dessert parties.
2. Befriend Your Butcher And Fishmonger. They’ll share tips for the right cuts at the right price or other ways to save.
3. Invite 365 Everyday Value®. Tastefully entertain with high-quality celebratory basics at everyday-value prices. Hundreds of organic selections too!
4. Family Affair. Pass on plated dinners and serve family-style. It allows you to serve a menu of reasonably priced dishes (like pastas and big salads).
5. Dessert Expensive Desserts. Decorate homemade cakes with beautiful berries or opt for an ice cream sundae bar.
