5 Tips to Save at the Grocery Store
Evaluate Shopping Frequency
Try making a grocery trip once per week on a day you have ample time to think through what you need, how much you need and how long it will last.
Here are some simple ways to save a few bucks during future grocery runs.
Plan Ahead
Spend a few moments considering the meals you’d like to make in the near future then write down exactly which ingredients you need.
Say “No” to Snacks
It might be difficult to avoid the temptation, but skipping the snack aisles can improve your finances and your diet.
Avoid Unnecessary Purchases
Similar to walking past the snack section, pay careful attention to how often you load your cart with items from special stands and end-of-aisle displays.
Store Food Properly
While it may not directly pertain to shopping, learning how to store the foods you do purchase can help them stay fresh longer, which can help cut down on trips to buy more.
