What is the best way to save money on grocery shopping?

[kitty71]

Bulk shopping (wholesale, something like COSTCO) that way you only buy once and dont have to buy again for until maybe in 3 weeks or a month or more of course depending on the product or to shop (not in bulk markets but regular markets) depending on youir daily or weekly needs so you have to shop at the moment depending on what you need at home for the days. For example in my house we have 3 markets to go to to shop. One is bulk shopping, other one is regular market for food to last approx 15 days and other market we use to buy things that we may need at the moment or daily that we forgot to buy in the other markets (like retail stuff). In our case at the bulk market we buy things like laundry detergent, toilet paper, napkins, kitchen paper towel, kitchen sponges, garbage trash bags, chicken breasts, pork loin, sliced bread, eggs and cereal. The rest we buy in regular markets or if we need something to buy at the moment.

For nutrition, I recommend buying a smoothie maker because if you have one, you never need to waste food, you can put your lemon peels and stray vegetables and bad tasting herbs in a blender to consume them before they expire or when you decide you don’t want to eat them due to bad taste, I always get my family to make a smoothie when we have fruits that are about to go bad such as lemons with their peels etc…

By making a list and searching prices online to stay in budget. Then add $3-7 tax to the total. I personally stayed in the $150 a week budget when i shop with a list. But when i shop without, i spend $300-500

Menu plans

Bulk buying

Vouchers (for products you're buying anyway)

Try cheap things

Reduction sections for packet/canned goods and meat (use it or freeze it)

One of the big tips I give is buy store brands. A lot of the stuff tastes and works just like the name brand stuff. People can get weird about getting the store brand stuff.

[kitty71]

Yes because people believe the store brands could be of a less quality than the brand stuff

[Oigit]

Yea, I blame that on the onslaught of advertising we get on all media for that.

Two hints to save money on grocery shopping...
1. Create a list before you leave home, and only but what's on the list
2. Use coupons, but only for items on the list

buy generic, most of the time its just as good, also the dollar store for cleaning stuff name brands most of the time but cheaper oh the 1.25 store now

I go by what the elders say, look at what you need not what you want, and only buy hat, you will save

Don't go shopping when you're hungry.

I buy stuff I don't need just because I'm hungry at the time 😂

#1 stick to a shopping list. Make a menu for the week.

Buy stuff when it is on sale, buy store brands, Buy bulk items at Costco or BJs. Also do not go food shopping on an empty stomach.

The only real way to save is to buy when it's on sale or simply buy less.

[RebeccaBI2000]

I shop Costco and Sam’s. Makes it easier and I just break it down.
