Make only one weekly trip
Needless to say, the more you shop, the more likely you are to spend money. Shopping is all about temptations and like it or not, giving in to some of them is certainly more interesting than window shopping.
To make sure you don’t overspend and also save yourself the trouble of going for another round of shopping, do it all in one visit, which could very well cut $15 or more, simple as that.
Shop for future needs
Simply because you’re trying to save money on your grocery bill does not mean you should not buy now some of the things you’ll need in the future.
Let’s say you abide by the rule to go shopping once a week but there’s something you really need for an upcoming trip in a few weeks. if you go to the supermarket and find that product on sale, it’s ok to make an exception and buy it instead of waiting for a next shopping trip.
“Watch for a great sale, combine it with coupons and store offers and buy in a higher quantity,” said Josh Elledge of SavingsAngel. “You can easily cut 50 percent or more off the things you normally buy shopping this way.”
