Rising Food Costs. How to save on your grocery bill? [Seafood Edition]

Food costs have been on the rise and grocery bills are becoming more costly. However, that should not mean that you need to sacrifice the simple joys of having seafood from time to time. Here are some ways to save on your grocery bill while treating yourself to some delectable flavours of the sea.

Canned clams - Next time you’re craving some creamy, delicious clam chowder, grab a can of clams instead. Using canned clams is just as good since they are canned at their freshest to lock in nutritional quality. Give this recipe a try and see for yourself!

Canned crab - You can buy fresh crab for crab cakes… but why go through the hassle of removing the crab meat from a crab that could take hours?! With hectic schedules and so many things on the go, it just makes life that much easier to grab a can of crab meat and whip up some crab cakes. Did I mention that they are a quarter of the price of fresh crab (or even less)??? Also, with this recipe, you can freeze these bad boys (…and not feel bad about it) and pop them in the oven on a weeknight to enjoy!

Frozen lobster tails - Whoever said that you need fresh lobster tails for lobster mac & cheese or a lobster grilled cheese, they need to try these recipes! You’ll find that with frozen lobster tails, they taste just a delicious. You won’t even notice the difference! So hit up the frozen aisle the next time. You might even find them on sale from time to time for $5 a tail at Metro.

Now, if you want to splurge a bit and satisfy your seafood cravings. Look for us on the streets of Toronto or at your next neighbourhood event. Stay tuned for more details :)
