How to Save Money on Groceries

 Want to save a few dollars on your grocery bill? Here are some quick and easy ways:

1. Compare deals and use coupons

Before you go to your regular grocery store, check out all of the ads and see what deals other stores are having. Remember to check your coupon stash as well.

2. Create a grocery list

 Check your fridge and pantry to see what you’re running low on. Restocking during a sale will both save you money and keep you from running out of essentials.

3. Create a meal plan

 If you plan your meals for the week, you can focus on buying only what you need. This can  also help you avoid any sudden trips to the store. 

4. Don’t go to the grocery store while hungry

 While there have been varying studies, it has been said that the hungrier you are, the more likely you are to overbuy—especially when it comes to quick treats!

5. Shop generic 

 Big brands aren’t always better. Also, many store-branded products are made by the same big brands that you are already buying. Give them a comparison shot and see what you think.

6. Home-made fast food

Instead of buying frozen meals, stock your freezer with homemade ones for a fraction of the price.
