Planning meals on a budget after
retirement involves being intentional and organized with your grocery spending. Start by setting a clear monthly food budget based on your income, then create weekly meal plans that use affordable, nutritious ingredients like rice, beans, eggs, and seasonal vegetables. Take advantage of sales, discounts, and store loyalty programs, and try to cook at home as much as possible to avoid the high cost of eating out. Preparing meals in bulk and using leftovers wisely can help stretch your food further. With a bit of planning, you can eat well without overspending.
