How to save money when buying groceries

Did you Know That? You can still save money at the supermarket in these hard times :

  • Clip coupons and organize them according to their expiration date! Only clip coupons for items that you are interested in purchasing.
  • Look out for "mail in rebate" offers. Basically, you purchase an item for the full retail price within a store. Mail the receipt and UPC symbol for a full refund.
  • Buy GENERIC brands! Usually they contain the same ingredients as brand name items. If you are spending extra money for organic or all-natural ingredients its not worth it!
  • Use a shopping list to keep track of what you need to buy and stick to the list!
  • Only buy things that you will use! If you have purchased something in the past that has not been used, or partially used! DO NOT repurchase!
  • Grow a garden, for fresh fruits and vegetables!
