| I'd rather use my method.
1. Shop the box stores where you bag your own groceries. Bring your grocery bags from home. Stores usually will give you five cents for each bag you supply. May not seem like much, but after a while it adds up.
2. Don't buy anything that isn't 'in season'..ie, produce and meat.
3. Shop the bottom shelves. They may be store brands, however many store brands are made by national companies.
4. Avoid the 'extra' aisles that tempt you with cookies and candy.
5. Take advantage of bread outlet stores. The price of bread can be less by $3.00!
I know this for a fact as I was at the grocery store last week and checked out the whole wheat/oat bread. It was $4.35 a loaf! At the outlet store, I paid $1.19...that's a huge savings.
5. Buy only what you will use. Most people tend to over buy.
6. Plan your meals before you head out to the store.
7. Stick to your list. If you don't have it on the list, you probably don't need it.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
