Saving at the grocery store

[centsgirl]

1. Make a grocery list and check it twice, going through your kitchen before hitting the supermarket is free, and can save you a lot of money.

2. Watch the price scanner, machines do make mistakes, and can be costly to you if you are not careful.

3. Buy generic items over big brand names, this will save you 10-50% on your cost.

4. Stop clipping crappy coupons, a lot of coupons,are on highly packaged foods low in nutrition and high in unpronounceable ingredients. Skipping the crappy coupons and opting to pay a little bit more for whole foods may be a better deal for your health in the long run.

5. Skip the cans, buy dried beans in bulk, this will also save you a lot of money.
