Last Day Tips To Eating Gluten Free For Less

1.  Make big batches of food.  If you are making a meal,
it is easy to increase the quantities and make enough for
2-3 nights.  If it is an item you can freeze even better.

2.  Bring lunch to work.  This has always been my motto.
Buying lunch is always expensive, forget if it is gluten free.
So either make your own sandwich, or pack some leftovers
for lunch with a piece of fruit or yogurt.  You will save money.

3.  Get to cooking in the kitchen.  If your bananas went bad,
make some banana bread or gluten free muffins.  Buying
any of these items are costly.  You can always look up
different recipes.  Once again any bread or muffin item
freezes well.
