Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• Time
• Paper
• Computer & Printer
• Desire to save Money

1. First step in order to see what you spend on Grocery Supplies ,the first 30 days you need to shop as you usually do,keep track of every Cent spent for 30 days on your grocery bill.This will be a starting point for you.The following month set a Grocery Budget a bit lower than last month (I.E if you spent 300 dollars last month set you budget to 250 dollars this month)dont worry with my plan you can still get all you need for 50 dollars less.
2. Take some time to make out a Breakfast ,Lunch and Dinner and snacks menu plan.Figure a grocery list for 1 week,pick 1 day a week that is best for you to shop,and Yes even if you are Paid 1 time a month or 4 times a month still shop once a week.This keeps foods fresher and you will not end up buying excess.always without fail take your list with you to the store.Also look in your Stores ads for the week,buy shopping weekly what wasnt on sale last week,may be this week.
3. Now there are many coupon sites you can accces online,just put in Online coupons in your search engine,but beware before printing out ,find out if your local store will take them first.What I did was printed out a couple coupons and took to store to see if they would take.Only print out the coupons you will use(as other wise you will be wasting your paper and printers INK)if a Coupon site that allows you to print out individual coupons,dont use that site.

Tips & Warnings

• Dollar Stores for Spices ,this is a good way to save lots of money,these may not be premium blends ,but if they taste good and are safe ,who cares.
• Dollars Stores for Cleaning supplies.Dont spend mucho Dollars on cleaning supplies at the Supermarket,try some Off brands at The Dollar store.You wont believe how much you can save if your flexable.Also deduct from your Grocery budget what you spend at the Dollars stores,remember your goal is to save money in the long run,not by saving in one place and spending in another.
• Dollar Store items you should stay away from.In recent months there has been reports of lead in Toothpaste brands that Dollars stores carry,just remember this rule,if your going to ingest an item stay away from items manufactured outside U>S(especially China)The same on Drugs and Vitamins at the Dollar Stores.I would rather spend a little more on a product that is safe,than risk my family and myself,just to save a few dollars.Just Beware
