How Would You Like to Save $100 on Groceries This Month?
Posted by: Jane Goode / Category: Personal FinanceDo you wish that you could stop spending a chunk of your paycheck on groceries? Really, you should know that you do not need to do that any more with the right information. With just a few small adjustments to your shopping habits, you could be spending hundreds less a month than you are right now.
Here are 5 quick and easy ways to cut your grocery bill down to size:
1. Sign up for store incentive programs. A huge number of grocery discounts are now tied to your store club card, no card means no savings.
2. Only buy what is on sale for the week and save a lot. Shockingly, all you need to do to get a good deal is buy only what is on sale. Grocers often will discount sale prices by more than 40% when items are on sale. Fill your cart with only sale items and cut your grocery bill by 40-50% on average.
3. Know before you go. Take a few minutes to check out the specials for the week before you leave home. Check out the sales circular and you will almost always find the best deals for the week either on the front or back pages. Looking there first is a good money saving strategy.
4. Use grocery coupons. Clip and remember to use food coupons on every grocery shopping trip. I will say it right up front, grocery coupons are the quickest way to save a lot of money on both food and non-food items. The more coupons you use the more you will save. Remember to use unit pricing to be sure that the price is right when coupon shopping, but for the most part coupons will make your grocery dollars go a lot further.
5. Bring a grocery coupon for every item you plan to buy. Cents-off coupons actually save dollars when you use a lot of them. You can find free high face value grocery coupons in the Sunday paper, on the internet couponing sites, and the newest invention is paperless electronic coupons.
