On a Budget During Passover? Tips to Save money on Passover Food
Yes, it would be nice to order your whole Passover meal from the store, but that’s expensive. If you can make Passover food at home and divide up tasks.
Ask for help and delegate. Have each person or family in charge of the food for a different part of the seder.
- Go vegetarian or don’t make meat as the main course.
- Use a fake shank bone. I’ll admit, one year we didn’t have long to prepare and ended up using a dog bone as the shank bone.
- Leave the Pesach section. Passover foods tend to more expensive. Depending on how religious/strict you are, certain food items don’t need to be Kosher for Passover. You can check out a Shopping Guide from the Chicago Rabbinical Council, page 24 for information on foods that are Acceptable without Passover Certification, Must bear reliable Passover Certification, or Not acceptable for Passover.
- Pack Your Own Lunches for Passover. If you make your own Passover lunch, you will save time, money, and the headache of trying to figure out what you will eat.
