5 Ways to Save Money on Groceries

Tuesday January 6, 2009

Have you ever noticed that making small, intentional changes in your life can actually have a pretty big impact? This is true for a lot of things--setting an example for your kids, getting along with your ex, reaching a fitness goal. But today I'm thinking specifically about groceries.

Huh? Well, next to paying for housing and transportation, groceries are probably your largest expense during any given month. And if you can get to a point where you're spending even just $10 or $20 less each week on food, well, then that's money in your pocket (or, at least, money you can spend toward other expenses).

Are you ready to give it a try? Put these 5 Ways to Save Money on Groceries into effect, and see if you can't challenge yourself to save $25-$50 per month just by slightly altering your spending habits each time to go into the grocery store.

And remember, every little bit counts, so even if you only save $5 or $10 the first month, it's still worth the extra effort--and once you get into a rhythm with your store's sales cycles, you'll find that saving money on the things you buy most frequently will become even easier.
