To help you get started, here are some tips on how to save money on groceries.Cook at home more to save money on groceries.
Prepare Meals at Home
Eating out is expensive, and home cooked meals are cheaper and usually healthier. Try to cook simple meals that don’t require too many ingredients
What’s on Sale?
Check out the items on sale for the week at your local grocery store and plan your meals around that. You can also save money by making larger meals and freezing the leftovers. This way you always have something on hand when you are running kids to extracurricular activities and don’t have time to cook.
Write out a Meal Plan
Making a meal plan for the week and sticking to it will help you save time and reduce your budget item for groceries. Need to start a budget? Check out “How to budget for Beginners“. Cooking can be fun, especially if you involve your family. Getting ideas from the things they want to eat will inspire them to cook their favorite meals. Plan ahead by looking up recipes. Plan your meals ahead of time and make a grocery list so you only buy what you need.
Make a List
Make a list of groceries you need before you go to the store. This will help you save money by not buying things you don’t need. Only buy what is on your list and try not to be tempted by other things in the store.
Go Shopping on a Full Stomach
This is the most important tip! Eat before grocery shopping. This will help you save money by not buying food you don’t need. If you go to the store hungry, (and you are like me), you are more likely to buy pre-made food that costs more. Not to mention when your hungry everything looks!!! However, your grocery bill will be much higher than if you went shopping on a full stomach.
