Saving money on grocery shopping.
That seems to be my current “quest” and what all of my friends are chatting about these days. And why not? With the price of just about anything you can think of shooting through the roof these days, we have to buckle down and get smart somewhere!
I would consider making a menu Step One if you were trying to cut down on costs. This way, you know exactly what’s in your pantry, and if you set out a plan of which meals are what days, then you won’t have to be panicking over what to pull together at 5 o’clock.
Now, I have spent a decent amount of time smoothing out and adjusting our menu. And personally, I thought I was doing really well. I have gotten our menus polished to a four-week plan, and for basic groceries, we have been spending around $150 a month or a little less.
There’s still a LOT that I have to learn, though. I’ve never been good at coupon clipping. Every time I have tried, it just never seems to work out as anything beneficial. Apparently, after a friend of mine shared this video, all I could do was stare at my screen in absolute amazement. You will not believe what she pays for these groceries!!!
What do YOU do to cut back the costs of groceries? What are your best tips, the best sales you hit, or the best stores you shop?
