If you want to save money on groceries following ways will help you cut $100 out of your monthly grocery bill without too much effort.
1. Convenience lets you save time for other things you need to get done. Pre-made items may save your time, but they cost a pretty penny. These items come in the form of packaged dinners or pre-cut produce. Instead of that plate of cut pineapple, buy the whole fruit or vegetable for a part of the cost.
Know what to buy in bulk (大批). Shopping at warehouse stores can be a great way to save money, but not every item is worth buying in bulk. 2.
Skip the meat The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average cost of beef is $ 4.13 per pound this March. 3. If you skip the beef twice a week, you can instantly cut $30 to $40, if not more, off your grocery bill each month.
Know what to buy in season. Fruits and vegetables are a great addition to your daily diet, but they can add a significant amount to your grocery bill, especially when you buy items out of season. 4. If your favorite items are getting ready to go out of season, consider buying a little extra and freezing them.
5. However, there are ways to, stretch your dollar further without hurting your habits.
A. Store pre-made items.
B. Skip the prepared items.
C. Shopping for groceries can be an expensive attempt.
D. Beef has seen a significant increase in price over the past few years.
E. The cost can add up quickly if you’re eating beef three or four times per week.
F. As produce items go out of season, the become more expensive as the supply decreases.
G. Certain items make sense to buy in large quantities as they typically have a longer shelf life.
British people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.
Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as much—and there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”
The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.
British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common.
Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the benefits from new technology, not allowing those at the top to grab them for themselves.” she says.

B. Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours.
