10 Money-Saving Tips for Summer Essentials

1. Envision "whirled peas."Make simple homemade chickpea hummus and get creative with flavor using what you have on hand – herbs, spices, grilled veggies, artichoke hearts.
2. Budget aid. Homemade lemonade or limeade won't squeeze your savings.
3. Tea time. Making large batches of iced tea at home is easy and an indisputable money-saver. Add fresh fruit and mint...perhaps from your garden.
4. Pest o change-o!Make your own pesto with raw herbs or greens, nuts from the bulk section, a hard cheese, lemon juice and olive oil.
5. Budget barista. Save some bucks by making your own iced coffee. Use leftover a.m. coffee to make coffee ice cubes to avoid dilution.
6. Give up the bottle. DIY vinaigrette is easy to tinker with and customize. Beyond salad, use it as a marinade or veggie dip.
7. Lick overspending. No need to spring for store-bought ice pops. Homemade popsicles are a great use for juices, yogurt, bananas or berries in your fridge.
8. Morning DJ. Mix up smooth-ie jams and juicy tunes at home for just a song. Take a look at our top five money-saving tips for homemade smoothie hits.
9. Why scream? Make ice cream sandwiches with 365 Everyday Value^® cookies and ice cream. Bonus: drizzle with melted Whole Trade^® chocolate before freezing.
10. Raise the bar. To make granola bars, shop our bulk aisle for what you need and nothing else – no hydrogenated fats or artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives or excess packaging. All our bulk selections are frequently replenished and freshness verified by our grocery Team Members.

5 Money-Saving Tips for Homemade Smoothies

1. Smooth operator. Buy and freeze fruit when it's in season (and often at great prices). Use in place of ice, it thickens your drink and is a great way to use fruit before it spoils.
2. Thrifty Mixer. Use up and experiment with beverages already in your fridge such as orange juice or flaxmilk.
3. Measured savings. If you overestimate quantities, any leftover in the blender can be frozen into ice pops!
4. Green machine! A smoothie is a great vehicle for that handful of healthy leafy greens sitting in your fridge.
5. Blend in. Add-ins can round out the drink's nutritional value and might save you from taking a supplement separately. Try flax seed oil (get the coupon) or spirulina powder.

6. Grill master. Grill once and eat twice. Grilling steak for dinner can mean tacos or sandwiches the next day. Look for our value packs on meat and poultry!
7. Small grains. Big nutrition. Whole grains bought in the bulk aisle are light on your wallet and support lasting energy. Quinoa and whole-wheat couscous cook quickly.

10 Money-Saving Tips for Whoever
Whenever Breakfasts

The key to breakfast savings is being prepared with nutritious ingredients that will come together easily as each person rises and shines.

1. Go Nuts. Set out chopped nuts, dried fruit, coconut shreds, seeds and trail mix for ease of topping yogurt, fruit, granola, cereal or pancakes. Shop the bulk aisle to save!
2. Fruit's on first. Toss together a fresh fruit salad and place it front and center in the refrigerator to make it easy for everyone to get their nutrients.
3. Batter up! Mix up pancake or waffle batter and store in the fridge, ready to pour on the griddle as each person rises to meet the summer day.
4. Grab and go. Store a supply of pre-made wholesome muffins in the freezer. Thaw overnight or warm in the microwave.
5. Overnight oats. Cook steel-cut oats the night before and refrigerate. Add your liquid of choice before briefly reheating.
6. Parfait perfect. Pre-make yogurt cups in reusable containers with add-ins like jam, nuts, fruit and granola. (Separate the granola with plastic wrap to avoid sogginess.)
7. Magic muesli. Scoop yogurt and uncooked oats into a bowl and let sit overnight in the fridge. Top with fruit, seeds and honey or maple syrup if desired.
8. Breakfast's in the bagel. The evening prior, arrange smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, red onion and lettuce leaves on a platter and wrap securely to be ready for ease of bageling in the morning.
9. Taco to the bank. Keep tortillas and fillings — scrambled eggs, cooked potato and bacon, shredded cheese, beans — in containers in the fridge. Roll breakfast tacos and heat as needed. Don't forget the salsa (or the coupon for the salsa)!
10. Roll with it. Don't like breakfast tacos? (Are you crazy?) Keep rolls or English muffins along with prepared fillings (eggs, cheese, cooked spinach, ham or Canadian bacon) on hand for heat and eat ease.
