10 Grocery Savings Tips

 
Below are some great tips to help you save money when it's time to do your grocery shopping!




Keep a Price Log:

Monitor the costs of groceries you buy regularly by jotting them down in a notebook. You can see how often things go on sale and plan accordingly.

Time Things Right:

Most grocery stores sales cycles being on Wednesday. Avoid the first 2 days of the month, some stores raise their prices on those days. Consider shopping after 4pm when you might be able to nab half priced goods Know the best time of the year to buy things that can be frozen or stored in your pantry. Turkey prices are slashed after holidays, while cereal manufacturers often offer deals during back to school.

Rely on a Few Good Apps:

Want coupons for items you buy regularly? Use Grocery IQ to find them and load them onto your savings card. Use Grocery Pal to determine weather the store you've input has the best deals and it lets you know which stores do! Tap on Berrycart which is a rebate platform dedicated to organic, gluten free and non-GMO items for more than 100,000 stores!

Know where to Shop for What:

Supermarkets don't always have the best deals. Milk is a loss leader at drugstores, so it can be 20 percent cheaper there than at the grocery store. Similarly you can find lower prices on fish and meat at warehouse clubs and canned goods and boxed goods at big box stores. Shop for your cleaning products and paper goods at dollar stores.

Take Full Advantage of Your Loyalty Card:

Each time you sign up for a new card visit the store's website to find out what other benefits are available. Be sure to fill out the form requesting your snail mail address, email address or both so you'll be sent coupons.

Hit the Stores Alone:

Sometimes taking your kids or your husband raises your grocery bill because they are picking out items that wasn't on your list, so go alone!

Befriend the Butcher:

Ask him which days he puts out the quick sale items, snap them up and freeze them for later. When the cheaper roasts go on sale have him grind one into hamburger meat and you could save up to $2.50 a pound.

Beware the Deli Counter:

You often can do better shopping elsewhere in the grocery store for deli items. For instance American cheese might cost up to 30% more at the deli counter than in the dairy case.

Consider Frozen over Fresh:

The nutritional value is similar and when fresh fruits and veggies are out of season, frozen produce is better for both flavor and price!

Don't Let One Good Deal Drive You:

Just because one item is on sale, don't base a whole meal around that item unless you are watching prices of the other items. You can buy the one item that is on sale and hold onto it for the next week when something could be on sale to go with last weeks item!

Buffalo Chicken Nachos

  Football has started so everyone wants something to snack on BUT I even look for something different for dinner. I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak
