Never Shop Without A List.
Make your list according to weekly specials. Without a list, you will be much more influenced by marketing strategies that encourage you to purchase higher profit items.
Know A Good Price.
Twenty percent of products in weekly circulars are already at or close to normal prices. Buy something only if you need it. You do not want to fall victim to a "good deal."
Consider Store Brands.
Many products such as canned vegetables, cereal, and condiments have three types of branding labels: national brand names, store brands, and economy brands. Though the price for an item may vary greatly between brands, all products must meet the FDA requirements.
Watch The Register Like It Is Your Money.
An investigation by Money Magazine revealed that 30 percent of supermarkets may overcharge their customers due to scanning errors.
Avoid Prepared Foods.
Prepared foods include items such as frozen dinners, vegetables in cheese sauce, and hot foods from the deli. While these items are convenient, you will most likely pay a higher price.
Learn To Experiment When Cooking.
If a recipe calls for a spice or ingredient that you rarely use, consider omitting this item or substituting it. This will help you avoid trips to the grocery store just to buy one item, which is a difficult task in large grocery stores. Search the internet for ingredient substitution sites such as www.joyofbaking.com.
Consider Bulk Shopping.
Try purchasing non-perishable items in larger amounts from warehouse clubs.
If you know other frugal shoppers, perhaps the bulk amount and cost of the items could be split among all of you.
