Tips on How to Store Your Food
Thanks go to Gomestic and their article on How to Store Your Food So It Lasts Longer.
Any grubgirl or grubboy knows that poor meal planning or poor leftover packaging can lead to a lot of waste in your kitchen…and I’m about you getting the most value from your food.
The key theme is to get airtight packaging for your leftovers, as oxygen can damage food, give it freezer burn, and make things ripen faster.

Dive Eating in San Francisco: Meetup SF Dives
If you’re the oddball grub representative among your group of friends, there’s a cool Meetup group that has regular outings to dives. (Meetup is a place where people with common interests can find others in the same locale and, shocker, meet up!)
It’s called the SF Dives group (make sure you read the About Us fine print!), and there’s a very active contingent. Grubgirl herself (that’s me) is a bit anxious about getting dropped from this list due to conflicts that have occurred on Wednesday nights but hopefully the organizer is a forgiving type.

Tips to Cut Your Grocery Bill
Kudos to Sharon Harvey Rosenberg, aka The Frugal Duchess, for listing out 11 Tips for Cutting Grocery Bills from Consumers Union.
The one that caught me?
Be wary of circulars: Featured products in circulars often see a spike of up to 500 percent in sales volume. So stores like to highlight lots of items in their weekly circulars. The catch, says Shop Smart: “Not all items in circulars are on sale [at a discount].”
Gasp!
