Trying to lower your grocery bill? Small changes can add up to some big results. Here are some simple ways to save:
Plan meals around what’s on sale. Check out what’s on sale at our store each week and plan your meals around sale items. If you can, purchase extra shelf-stable or frozen items that can be used for future meals.
Have a meal plan. Some people plan by month or week, but if you’re not used to having a meal plan, you can start small and plan one or two days at a time. The idea is to know what you’re having for dinner at least a day or two in advance so that you can have the ingredients on hand.
Shop with a list. Your list doesn’t have to be on a piece of paper. You can use a smart phone app that makes it easy to keep track of what you need.
Ask us about store brands. We offer value-priced alternatives to the leading national brands that can help stretch your grocery budget. Stop in and ask us for more information about these high-quality and affordable food and general merchandise items.
Use coupons. Don’t like clipping coupons? Don’t get the Sunday newspaper? No problem. Use coupon-printing web sites such as Coupons.com and SmartSource.com to print coupons for items on your shopping list.
