Saving Ideas For a Wise Grocery Shopper

[Herbert Eddy]

We are always looking for ways to save on our groceries. I hope my
ideas are a big help.
Do not buy non-food items at the grocery store. Shampoos, diapers and
over the counter medications are always higher at the grocery store.
Save these items for your local dollar store.
Ask for rain checks when a sale item is not there. If there is no
limit to the amount, ask for double the amount you think you might
need. You can always buy less but they will not let you buy more if
your finances are better at the time of pick up.
Don't buy everything at the same store. Go to 2-3 stores if their
sale item are different and you need or use them. Some will say that
is wasting money on gas but if you plan your travel, you might use an
extra gallon of gas but save 20+ dollars. To me, spending three
dollars on gas and saving twenty on food is a savings of $17.00 anyway
you look at it.
Do not buy things just because they are on sale or you have a coupon,
to just sit in your pantry or for you to give away later. That is not
a savings.
While you are at the dollar store buying your non food items, check
out their grocery items too. Most have a spice rack, canned vegetables
and cereal. They may not be the brand you are used to but you can buy
one and try it out before committing to a larger purchase. You might
be pleasantly surprised.
These ideas plus a keen eye for bargains will help you on your way to
savings while shopping at your favorite grocery store.
