30 Ways to Save Money at the Grocery Store

It's the International Year of the Pulse so why not add more beans, lentils and other legumes to your dinner plate instead of more meat. They're delicious, sustainable, local (for Canadians), healthy, protein-packed and super inexpensive. They also happen to be high in fibre, B-vitamins, iron, potassium, magnesium and zinc, and have twice as much protein as other whole grains like wheat, barley or rice. If your family isn't sold on pulses yet, try replacing half the meat in a recipe with beans, lentils or chickpeas, when appropriate, like in this turkey lentil sloppy Joe recipe.
