Just remember these tips:
. Use coupons and discount cards, and look for sales.
. Buy generic or store brands.
. Don't shop when you're hungry-you'll buy more and probably choose unhealthy foods!
. Make dishes that you can refrigerate or freeze for another meal.
. Avoid recipes with very expensive ingredients. Look for healthy recipes with low-cost ingredients like the ones in Eating Healthy: A Health Guide and Recipe Book for Students Living Off-Campus.

Some rules of thumb for food safety when shopping:

. Shop for foods that you shelve (can goods, breads, etc.) first.
. Buy refrigerated, frozen foods, and prepared foods last.
. Don't choose raw meats, poultry, or fish that are warm to the touch or have damaged packages.
. Check "sell-by" and "use-by" dates on foods-especially milk, yogurt cheese, and prepared foods.

Tips provided by Off-Campus Student Services

. Make sure there is a smoke detector in or near every sleeping area.
. Test your smoke detectors using the "test" button and install new batteries every semester.
. Smoke alarms shouldn't be painted and they shouldn't be more than 10 years old.
. Contact your landlord if you have concerns about the functioning of a smoke detector.
. If you have to plug multiple appliances into one outlet, use a power strip.
. Keep 36 inches of empty space between a space heater and everything else-space heaters need space!
. Never use an extension cord with a space heater.
. If you smoke, use large, deep ashtrays.
. Never put a cigarette butts directly in the trash-it can smolder, so completely soak cigarette butts with water before you throw them away.
. If you have a stovetop grease fire, turn off the burner and cover the pan with a lid to cut off oxygen to the fire. Never take a burning pan to the sink and NEVER use water on a grease fire.
