Have you ever lost a ton of money and didn’t really understand how? Sometimes life just passes us by and we have trouble pinpointing the patterns that lead to money getting drained from our bank account. Here are three kitchen mistakes you can avoid in order to save some cash.

Throwing Out Groceries 

It’s good to always have everything ready so you can cook at home instead of ordering food or going out, but if you go grocery shopping without a plan, you risk getting too much and throwing them out eventually. Track your cooking habits and plan your meals so you can always get just enough produce, eggs, milk, and other groceries that tend to spoil fast.
