Meal planning for the week and making a list based on sale items will help you avoid impulse buying. If there is room in your freezer, look for bargains on protein and things that can be frozen. Having a well-stocked pantry with staples such as eggs, milk, cheese, and whole grain pastas and cereal will give you the ability to make meals out of leftovers.
