Nectarines

- Once dried store in an airtight container or package in a cool and dry place
Nuts can be very expensive if you buy them just when you need them, make sure to watch for deals all year long!
- Nuts are a great item to stock up on when you find a good deal. Often times having an experation date 12-18 months after the date of purchase, make sure to look at all those experation dates!
- Another great way to save is look for nuts in bulk, they are usually about 25-40% less than buying them pre-packaged

Noodles, who doesn’t have some form of noodle in their stockpile?
- Since noodles are often dried this is one of the easiest food items to find at a good price and stock up on when it’s at its lowest price
- A couple of times a year you can find 1lb boxes for $0.50 or less, at this time pick up a 4-6 month supply to help save
