The average family's grocery bill is typically one of the larger figures on the family budget. The amount of money each family spends on groceries can vary greatly depending on a variety of factors such as whether they buy name brand, more meat, and so on.
The good news is that if we choose to be frugal with our shopping, we can save a lot of money. A few simple tips will have you well on your way to saving money.
1.) Create a meal plan. Before you go to the store, you'll know exactly what you need.
2.) Keep an eye out in store newsletters for specials and coupons, and plan your meals around them.
3.) Create and stick to a list. Don't buy it if it's not on the list.
4.) Do not go shopping when you are hungry. You won't be tempted to buy things you don't need this way.
5.) Go shopping by yourself. When you bring your spouse or children, expect your bill to be higher.
6.) Only purchase items you know you'll use. If your family dislikes broccoli, don't buy it in the hopes that they will eat healthier this week.
7.) Keep an eye out for items on the bottom shelf with lower prices.
8.) When the quality is the same, buy store brands. The majority of the time, it is the same product in a different package.
It's quite simple to be frugal once you realize how much money you're actually saving by following these simple steps. Keep track of your grocery bills so you can see how much of an impact you're having.
