Tackling the Grocery Store

Mom of Seven's picture

I've decided that one place I can trim the budget is at the grocery store. Lately, I've been able to save 30-50% each trip. One way to start my savings is to limit the amount of grocery store trips. I try to do it only once a week. There is alot of temptation to impulse buy each time you go. I also use coupons. I get two newspapers so I can save and stock up even more on items that go on sale. I know lots of people who get more inserts than that. I also use a couple of websites that I have found really helpful. One is www.pinchingyourpennies.com and the other is www.grocerygame.com. The second website does have a monthly fee, but I more than make up for that in my savings each month. Remember, when those sales hit and you can use coupons,rebates and double coupons then you need to stock up on those items for extra savings! Let's knock out the grocery store gladiator!!
