Always go with a list.
If you go without a list, you may as well just throw your money away. Better yet, donate it to me -- I probably need it more than you. :) Seriously, though, you need to prepare a list of everything you need, pulling from your weekly menu and checking to make sure you don’t have it in your pantry, fridge or freezer. Make sure you’re not forgetting anything. Now stick to that list.

Cut back on meat.
Meat is expensive. We have vegetarian meals several times a week think pasta or chili and for other meals, you could just use a little meat as a kind of seasoning instead of the main ingredient think Asian, Indian and other such cultural food. Actually, I eat vegetarian all the time, but the wife and kids do a little of each.

Buy frozen veggies.
While fresh veggies are a little better, frozen veggies are almost as good, and much better than nothing. And since you can keep them in the freezer, they rarely go bad.

Planning ahead is clutch when it comes to saving money and meal prep, but keep in mind that you can prep things only a few days at a time for the freshest, best fruit and veg. "Unlike cereals and other dried goods, produce can't be expected to be fresh more than a week or so from its purchase date. Consider going to the grocery store or farmers' market a couple times per week to refresh your stash," Raimo says.

Finish up your previous haul immediately before refilling your crisper drawers to stock up wisely. A Cornell University study found that people who eat a healthy snack before grocery shopping stock up on more fruits and veggies than those who don't. In the study, shoppers who ate an apple before roaming the aisles ended up purchasing 25 percent more produce than those who shopped on an empty stomach.

Don't Store These Foods Together
Ethylene, a plant hormone that's emitted in a gaseous state once certain fruits are ripe can speed up the spoilage rate of some sensitive veggies. Keep apples and asparagus at arm's' length in your fridge, and take note of these fruit and vegetable frenemies from the Produce for Better Health Foundation

Make the most of overripe fruit in quick bread recipes (banana muffins, anyone?) and crumble fillings (apple-streusel for the win!). Or if you didn't make it through all the summer squash you hoped to spiralize, grate it into zucchini bread batter or mix with ground meat to add moisture, fiber, and vitamins to your burgers or meatballs.

Don't Forget About the Farmers' Market
The supermarket produce section is certainly worthy of a visit, but the farmers' market makes for a more social—and often more financially-savvy—stop. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) vouchers are accepted at most farmers' markets to make fresh ingredients accessible to even more people, Weeks says.

"I love going to farmers' markets for many reasons. It's amazing to see the passion of the growers and make a connection. It's also nice to know I'm getting something more local and supporting neighbors," says Bonnie Taub-Dix, RD, creator of BetterThanDieting.com and author of Read It Before You Eat It: Taking You From Label to Table.

Plus, you can almost guarantee your farmers' market purchases have been harvested more recently than what you'll find at a conventional grocery store. By treating apples with a gas—1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)—that slows ripening, food distributors can extend the life of the fruit by three to six months. Great news for food waste; not so good news for your cells. Similar to that world-traveler produce, these mature fruits and veggies lose nutrition by the day.

"Try frozen fruit. The fruits are flash-frozen at peak freshness so you're getting all the same nutrients as fresh—just without having to worry about spoilage before you have time to finish them," she says. "Frozen fruit can be way more affordable, especially for varieties that tend to naturally cost more, such as cherries." Pre-cut frozen fruit can be a lifesaver for all the smoothie stars out there. "Frozen pineapple and mangoes, for example, can add natural sweetness and a rich, milkshake-like texture to shakes and smoothies. This will cut down on prep (since there's no need to slice it yourself) and potential waste at the same time."

Don't Go Off-season
One of the easiest ways to stick to your food budget no matter where you shop: "Always attempt to buy in-season produce," says Caroline Weeks, RD, a clinical registered dietitian in Des Moines, IA. what's fresh right this moment and plan your purchases accordingly.

"Not only will the blueberries flown in from Kenya cost you about $5 during winter, but the carbon footprint is also much higher. Plus, because the food has been in long-distance transit and has been off the tree or vine for quite some time, its nutrient value can drop," explains Adrienne Raimo, RD, a holistic health and wellness coach at One Bite Wellness in Columbus, Ohio.
