Use the envelope system
If you are not the type of person to have a monthly budget for groceries and other purchases, it’s time to start budgeting. You’ll be amazed at how much money you’ll get to save.
“Make a budget every month before the month begins, and decide how much you need for groceries,” said Cruze. “Withdraw this amount in cash from your bank account and put it in an envelope labeled ‘groceries.’ This will help you keep track of how much money you’ve spent and how much you have left for the month.”
Save online coupons
During your online searches don’t forget to look for other extra methods to save money on your groceries. The online world is full of opportunities and there are plenty of sites where you can find specific brand coupons, such as Coupon Sherpa or PromoCodeWatch, said Woroch.
For instance, if you perform a simple search, you’ll find $3 off Tide Pods from Kroger, $1 off any two boxes of Cheerios and $1 off any 1-pound package of Jennie-O turkey breast. A simple calculation will show you that you’ve managed to save $5 with a simple click.
