How to $ave the most while creating and shopping your weekly Grocery list!

Shop your pantry

Often times items get overlooked and not noticed until its time to reset. Creating meals using ingredients you already have is a great start to avoiding waste and shaving off a few bucks from the new grocery bill.

Pre-plan

Most grocery stores provide information of an upcoming sale at least a day in advance. Learning your favorite stores and their cycles is a great way to stay ahead of the game! Choosing your prepared meals for the week based on sale items is an immediate way to cut costs.

Bulk

Shop in bulk for the items you use most. This reduces repetitive buy on frequent cart fillers that seem small but add up! Wholesale clubs are great on prices for spices, paper products, meats and various other items that will save a large amount of money overall.

Go digital

Digital coupons are a great way to save even more on items throughpout the store! Often times, you can use them in conjuction with vendor coupons AND store copupons/ sales.

Monthly budget and set days

Consistency is so important to staying on target. Setting a realistic food budget for the household as well as shopping on specific days during the month avoid frivolous spending.
