Money-Saving Tips For Grocery Shopping

With the present state of the economy nowadays, it’s even more important to “stretch the dollar” so to speak.

* Clip coupons on items you need for your household and make sure to use them

* Review store circulars to see what is on sale …use coupons in conjunction with items on sale

* Buy in bulk for non-perishable items since it is less expensive in the long run…join a wholesale club to maximize savings

* Don’t forget about asking for a raincheck if the sale item you want is out of stock…ask at the customer service desk

* Try to do your errands all at once instead of several times during the week to save on gas

* Review sales receipts…you will be amazed at the amount of register mistakes made at point of sale. (My husband doesn’t pay much attention to sales receipts so he has to hear about it when he gets home!)

In a future post, I will discuss ways to shop for groceries from a food safety standpoint.
