Households Turn to This Tool to Reduce Food Costs and Save During Tax Season

With food prices rising and tax season underway, here is a practical way for households to cut costs, reduce waste, and manage their budgets more effectively.

CHARLOTTE, NC, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tax season is here, and many households are looking for ways to stretch their budgets. While most people focus on deductions and refunds, one of the easiest ways to save money is often overlooked—meal prep. By planning ahead, shopping smarter, and reducing food waste, families can keep more of their hard-earned money instead of throwing it away.

“Most people don’t realize how much money they’re literally tossing in the trash each month,” says Nick Quintero, owner of Workweek Lunch. “Meal prepping isn’t about spending hours in the kitchen—it’s about making strategic food choices that help you save money, reduce stress, and take control of your grocery budget. And with tax season here, there’s no better time to start.”

The Hidden Cost of Food Waste:
The average household wastes up to 30% of its food budget, often due to impulse buys, over-purchasing, or failing to use leftovers. As grocery prices continue to rise, wasted food translates to wasted money—money that could go toward bills, savings, or tax season expenses.

Tax season often brings financial stress, but a well-planned approach to meal prep can put money back in your pocket.

Three Simple Ways to Save Money with Meal Prep:
1. Plan Ahead – Choose flexible meals for the week to avoid impulse buys and food spoilage.
2. Shop Smart – Stick to a list and buy ingredients that can be used across multiple meals.
3. Use What You Have – Repurpose leftovers to avoid waste and cut down on unnecessary grocery trips.
