WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Shop for Food and Not Get Squeezed by High Prices · 20 Jan 2022 podcast

A lot of people use ground beef in their chili. matched

So not only is chili a dish that can stretch over a few days, but because beef is something that is affected by inflation right now, she suggested during times like this, matched

Considering using half the amount of beef that you usually would and then use a substitute for the other half, like lentils or other legumes to kind of make up for the hardiness. matched

And that's a way that, you know, you can use substitutions and, you know, in a more efficient way, you know, as price of certain items are high right now. matched

Yeah. matched

To your point, like a lot of us, when we decide, OK, we're going to start cooking from home, we kind of get a little ambitious and we say, OK, we're going to cook every day, you know, and I'm not going to spend any money this week. matched

And what we often find is that we just do not have the time. matched

And so Beth Monsell, again, the creator of the Budget Bites website, she suggested to start small because you will start to get a handle on the ingredients that you like, the ingredients that you need to get regularly from a grocery store. matched

And also, you know, if you choose like a versatile dish that can that can last a while, you know, matched

that one meal to start might be all you need to get through a few days. matched

I think the key with pantry items is that, you know, they are shelf stable. matched

You think about dried beans, dried rice, canned goods. matched

These items can be kept for a long time, so you can buy them at a lower price and you're kind of locking in that sale price, for example. matched

during times of inflation and by all indicators, inflation will last through the year. matched

But there's also the fact that shelf-stable items are often versatile. matched

You think about all the different dishes that you can use rice for or pastas or tomato sauce. matched

And so that's for the pantry. matched

But the freezer as well. matched

You know, I learned a lot from these experts when it comes to things that you can and can't freeze. matched

Like I never thought about freezing cheese. matched
