There are many ways to save money on your groceries. I have listed some that I have found and many that I personally use to save money.
- Do NOT go food shopping when you are hungry, this will eliminate many of those impulse purchases, saving you hundreds.
- Eliminate frozen food from your shopping list. Freezing your own is much cheaper and often tastier.
- Using a shopping list and sticking to it will ensure you buy only what you need.
- Plan your shopping list carefully. Check your fridge and cupboard for what you need first.
- Shopping less often can save you a lot. Larger quantities are often better value.
- You can save up to 40% by buying generic no name brands.
- Keep an eye on the top and very bottom shelves; this is where you find the cheaper brands.
- By shopping later in the day, week and month you will find more items on special.
- Save money by check the back of super market dockets for discounts.
- Cook more than you need and freeze the rest in meal sized portions for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
- Save money by shopping at discount food shops rather than expensive local grocers and convenience stores.
- When serving a meal, serve smaller portions of meat and larger portions of vegies, rice and pastas.
