Hi
# Read labels. Look for trans fat, hydrogenated oils, high amounts of sugar, saturated fat, lots of sodium, cholesterol. Then avoid them like the plague. Look instead for fiber, good fats, protein, vitamins, calcium.
# Clean out your fridge. You’ve got stuff growing in there and turning from solids to liquids. The leftovers have begun to organize their own political party. Toss em out and make room for the new.
# Stick to your list. Avoid impulse buys. They are almost always bad, and even if it’s just a couple dollars, they will add up to $50-100 for a trip. Over the course of a year, that can mean thousands. Tell yourself you will not buy anything that’s not on your list unless it’s an absolute necessity (why isn’t toilet paper on my darn list?).
# Use store savings cards. These can add up to big savings over the long run.
# Cut back on your restaurant eating. It’s never cheaper or more nutritious than eating at home. Plan your dinners (see above tip) and bring your lunches to work and save a ton of money.
# Avoid frozen dinners or prepared entrees. Again, these cost way more and are usually much less nutritious.
Thanks

Hi
The first step in smart grocery shopping is to make a list. Start with an inventory of what is in the cupboards now, then plan out the week's meals, and build a list around the necessary items. Decide what you need for packed lunches, breakfast and snacks. Making a list of these needs will help eliminate purchases.
Take the time to browse the newspaper fliers. If there are numerous grocery stores near you, pick the one offering the best deals on your listed items. When gas was cheap, a smart practice was to drive to a couple of stores and pick off the specials, but that now seems inefficient and expensive. Stick to one store, and take advantage of the specials.
Clip coupons. It is time consuming, but certainly worth the time. Many stores will offer double coupons for 50 cents or less, which can really cut costs. Some stores, such as Kroger's, offer on-line coupons. This allows the shopper to download coupons on their shopper cards from Kroger's, eliminating the cutting of paper coupons.
Thanks

Well, what I usually do when I go shopping is that I make a list what I need and follow this list. As for reading labels it can be hard as now there are so many unknown ingredients that you will never guess what it is.

Hello,
Put these five savvy habits into practice to keep the savings coming.
1. Don’t believe everything is a steal.
2. Make a list—but keep it vague.
3. Read ingredient lists.
4. Skip the produce section.
5. Check the expiration date and be realistic about what you’ll use.
Thanks,
