Top 3 Ways to Save on Groceries


1. First, grab the weekly grocery circular from your local newspaper, and look for the coupons That’s where experts say most of the best deals are. Plan your weekly meals around the sale items, and you could save a bundle.


2. Set the newspaper coupons aside for four or five weeks (be sure they don't expire though!). Manufacturers print coupons to promote a product, and a few weeks later, they often extend the promotion by putting the product on sale. So, if you save your coupons and combine them with the sale price, you’ll save even more.

3. Dump the Junk - Every time you drink tap water or home-brewed tea instead of a bottle of soda, you save about a dollar. You can make 10 batches of super-healthy stovetop popcorn for the same price as one giant bag of bad-for-you chips. You can also save money by learning to make frozen favorites from scratch, like pizza and macaroni-and-cheese. You'll find more recipes than you could ever need at foodnetwork.com
