Ways to Save Money on Groceries


Price compare with grocery store apps.

All the store's ads are now on their website or app.

Some stores even go as far as to tell you if there is a digital

coupon or even a Sunday paper coupon. Make sure you are

checking store ads and comparing prices.


Shop with a calculator; if you're trying to stick to a budget

then decide on your top dollar you want to spend at the store.

Hold yourself accountable, if you have gone over what you

wanted to spend double check your cart. If there are things

that you really don't need, put them back. Also have a list

and try to stick to that list.


Plan meals on what you already have in your pantry. Look up

recipes that go with those items and make your

meals around that.


Use a smaller cart if possible, the smaller the cart the less

you can get in there. This is great for an impromptu trip to

a grocery store, where you only need a few items. Don't go for

the large cart because you will tend to throw more in there.

If you don't need a cart, get a basket.


Buy in bulk; if there are items you get at the store every week,

bi-weekly or monthly save money by going to somewhere like

Sam's Club where you can get those items in bulk, it costs

more money upfront but saves you money in the long run.


Vacuum seal meat and freeze it. When meat is on sale for

a good price but you may not have room in your freezer for

large packs of meat, invest in a vacuum sealer. That way you

can make the packages smaller and you have saved money

again in the long run.


Look at the bottom shelves and outer aisles. The top shelves

normally have named brand items and the outer aisles normally

have good sale items. Which also leads to going generic!

Generic foods are made by brand name companies so it's

really the same, just cheaper!


Buy some veggies that are frozen. You get more than

in a can and normally have leftovers you can use again.

Sometimes they are on sale for a really good deal.

DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lanterns

  I am trying to pick some of the Disney movies a lot of kids love, for the week ahead. I love Tangled, I think the way they did it was great! I was always a huge Beauty & the Beast fan and while that will forever be my all time favorite the newer Disney movies are just awesome with the animation and the songs. I have a whole Disney playlist on my phone for Celeste and you guessed it Tangled is on there, that is one of her favorites as well. I found this DIY and knew I had to blog it that way when she is older we can make them together. Here's what you'll need: construction paper toilet paper rolls scissors glue crayons Create: First, put construction paper around the toilet paper roll. Measure the construction paper and cut it to fit to size. It doesn't have to be perfect. On some of the rolls you can decide to add extra decorations. Like the Rapunzel sun and swirls before you glue it on to the toilet paper roll. Remember this ...
