• Make a shopping list and buy only what you need.

• Shop at discount supermarkets.

• Never shop when hungry because you tend to buy too much.

• Check for weekly specials

• Learn about “unit pricing” sometimes listed beside the price on the shelf

• Check the clearance bins for discounted items.

• Choose store brands, or buy from the bulk bins.

• Cook from scratch.

• In the grocery store, shelves at eye level contain the most expensive items; look at the top and bottom shelves for the same item at a cheaper cost!

• It’s cheaper to buy frozen meats, poultry and fish than fresh.

• You can replace fresh vegetables with frozen or canned vegetables to lower costs.

• Recipes may require special herbs and spices that you don’t use often. Buy smaller quantities at bulk food stores instead of buying a large package.
