Save money on your grocery bill with three easy steps.
- Make a list. Think about what meals you want to make in the time frame you are shopping for. (It's okay to plan on having leftovers!) Take a quick inventory of your fridge and pantry; try coming up with meals using ingredients you already have. Now, make a list of all of the ingredients you need to buy to prepare those meals.
- Look for deals for every item on your list. It sounds so old-fashioned and like an awful lot of work, but the hassle of sitting down every Sunday with a pair of scissors hasn't gone unnoticed. With a flew clicks you can print free printable coupons at these websites, or scan these apple and android cell phone applications for coupons that save you money in the checkout lines, and for a fee the creator of this website does the legwork letting you save even more money by combining coupons with in-store deals. Also, before you toss those weekly penny saver ads, flip through them; if you find a great bargain at a different store, see if your regular grocer price matches.
- Stick to your list. Don't let yourself splurge. If you want ice cream, put it on your list and find a coupon for it. Oh, and it helps if you don't go to the grocery store hungry. :)
