Supermarket Savings
Each month we will share a new dollar-saving tip. We will give you an example of potential savings from 1) spending less and/or 2) avoiding uneaten food (and lost grocery money).
Tip #1 - Keep a grocery list. Gas for an extra trip to the store easily can add a dollar or more to your grocery bill. The less you shop, the less likely you will make an impulse purchase. Keep a grocery list where it's easily accessible, such as on the fridge, and remember to take it with you to the grocery store. Stick to your list for added savings, but do stay flexible if you encounter a sale.
Savings:- Gas to drive four miles for an extra trip to the store: $1.00 (or more).
- Impulse purchase of snack crackers at the store: an additional $2.50 spent.
Multiple $3.50 or more by the number of trips to the grocery store during the year and that adds up.
