Thrifty Mommy’s 50 Ways to Save Money on Groceries

I’m always on the lookout for ways to save time and money on groceries. Often, the best places to find tips is right in my own (online) backyard! Karen at Thrifty Mommy, another b5media blog, has a fabulous list of 50 ways to save money on your grocery bill.
There are so many ideas on this list that you might want to print it out for reference. Here are three I picked from the 50:
30) Try to limit your grocery shopping to only 1-2 stores. Driving around costs money. If you’re only saving a few dollars, then it’s probably not worth your gas and time to go to another store. Plus you know if you step foot in another store you’ll probably buy some other things not on your list.
33) If you’re only shopping for a few items then get a basket and not a cart. It will be hard to overshop this way.
47) Bigger is not always better. Sometimes economy size packages do not save you money. Even if they are cheaper, you need to decide if it’s worth the extra money. If you’ll use it then it’s a good buy, but if it will go to waste you need to rethink your decision.
Read the whole list over at the Thrifty Mommy’s blog.

Hee he! I’ve tried that, but it doesn’t work for me! I usually end up lugging an over-loaded basket around the supermaket with the handle threatening to snap at any moment!
You’re welcome! Thanks for the tips.
