When shopping for groceries or for other items, there are a few tips that you should remember:
- Avoid buying non-food items such as detergent, toothpaste, shampoo, napkins, and facial tissues at the grocery store, unless there is a really good deal. Usually you can get these items much cheaper at your discount or warehouse stores.
- Always do your grocery shopping alone. Keep the husband and the kids home. This way you will spend less money.
- If you have storage space, stock up on staples when they are on sale. You can then "shop" in your own "general store" when you run out.
- Plan your meals in advance and try not to go to the grocery store without a shopping list.
- Don't trust the register scanners at the check-outs. They have been known to make mistakes. Trust me, I know. When possible, know the price of what you're buying, and watch it scan.
- You can also save money on mileage as well as your time by picking one day a week to do all of your shopping. You can plan out your most gas saving route by doing this.
