28 Sep How to Save Money on Groceries
With all the new restaurants, food products, and stores, it can be easy to spend a lot of money on food every month. With some savvy shopping skills, you can save money on your groceries so you can actually afford to try out that new Thai restaurant down the street.
Meal Planning: Not only will meal planning save you time and help you eat healthier, but it will also help reduce the amount of food you will have to throw out at the end of the week. With meal planning you know exactly what you are going to be eating everyday so you’re only buying the food you need.
Shop Smart: Check out your local newspaper for coupons while you are making a grocery list. You can also find some great apps that will save you money. Something on sale already sold out? Don’t be afraid to ask a grocery store employee, they may give you a raincheck coupon that will allow you to get the same savings when that item is back in stock next week.
Buy in Bulk: Shopping for a family? Sign up for a wholesale club such as CostCo. You may find that your total cost per trip is more expensive but the items cost less per unit and will actually save you a lot of money in the long run. Just shopping for yourself? Ask a friend if they want to split a membership and you both can divvy up the items you buy, so you both are still getting the best deal without wasting anything!
