Grocery Shopping on a Budget

I have been trying to grocery shop on a budget lately. These are some tips I have for saving money while shopping:

• Make a grocery list before going shopping and set a budget. This will help you avoid impulse buying. Having a meal plan is also very helpful. When you plan meals, you will know exactly what ingredients you need and will be able to buy just the things you need instead of buying food that might go to waste
• Make meals yourself instead of buying frozen or premade meals. Frozen and premade meals are often more expensive than buying the ingredients for making the meal yourself. Instead of buying frozen meals, save leftover food you have and freeze it so you can reheat and seve it later. Frozen food will often last a while.
• Buy in bulk when you can. Buying bulk can often help you save money, but make sure you will really use the products you buy in bulk. Also, look for store named brands if you can.
• There are many apps that can help you save money when you shop. Store apps, such as the Whole Foods app, contain coupons and other shop discounts. Checkout 51 will give you cash back on your grocery purchases. Save your receipts and use ReceiptHog to earn money.

What tips do you have for grocery shopping?
