How to Save More Money and Spend Less on Groceries

Find out how to save money on groceries and spend less in the supermarket.

Instructions

1. Shop for groceries at places other than supermarkets. You can save a lot of money by shopping at places like drugstores, dollar stores and warehouse clubs. The key: look out for sales and do some comparison shopping. That gallon of milk might just be cheaper at Walmart than at your neighborhood grocery store.

2. Cut back on organics. It is not necessary to buy all of your produce from the expensive organic section. Regular apples, bananas and fruits that have a peel-able exterior are perfectly safe and free of hormones, pesticides and harmful chemicals. Stick with organic veggies like spinach, carrots and vegetables where the entire fruit/veggie is exposed. You will save a lot of money when you limit your organic produce selections.

3. Draft out a grocery list and only buy what is on your list. You overspend and get into trouble when you give way to impulse buys. So stick with your list and limit the time you are in the grocery store to reduce temptation.

4. Ask the manager of the store if it is possible to receive a discount for purchasing certain items in bulk. If you are constantly buying diapers or canned peaches each week, why not load up all at once and ask for a discount? Stores like Whole Foods Market is very accommodating.
