13. Always Make Extra
While we know we just suggested less is more, that was simply in terms of saving money on meats and side dishes. However, you can also save money by making extra. Why? Leftovers. It’s that simple. If you can buy your burgers and hot dogs in bulk wholesale, not only could you plan out your BBQ, but meals for the month as well. Not only will this save you money, but you’ll get a jumpstart on meal prepping as well.
