How to Save Money on Groceries

You may be thinking, “I just do not know where to start in cutting my grocery bill. Do I need to cook everything from scratch? Start clipping coupons? Use a phone app? Shop the scratch and dent store? It’s so overwhelming. Can I even do this?

It would seem that it takes constant vigilance to keep one’s budget under control. There are so many expenses vying for our paychecks: housing, utilities, education, transportation, entertainment, and the all-important FOOD. The bills add up quickly and can very easily exceed our income.

With our busy schedules, it’s all too tempting to “just buy something” at the grocery store so we can get home and get some food on the table. While expedient, this is a recipe for disaster, namely overspending.

If you’ve been struggling with inflation and supply chain issues, going to the grocery store may be an exercise in frustration. Instead it can be a liberating experience, knowing that you’re able to provide your household with the ingredients you want at the prices you can pay.

This is a primer to help you save money on groceries and feel good about how you feed yourself and your family.
