How to save money on groceries
We were stunned to learn that, at our worst, we were spending as much as $400 a week on groceries and another $400 a week on dining out. That adds up to $42,000 of spending a year on food! When we got real about paying off our credit card debt, we devised three solid habits to save money on groceries.
Today, we’re sharing our top three tips to save money on groceries with this Queer Money audience. We start by explaining how we shop strategically, taking advantage of coupons and sales at the grocery store. We also share the value of planning by creating a menu and grocery list for the week before we hit the market. Finally, we offer insight into the reasons behind our previous overspending and discuss how limiting our shopping trips to once a week has reduced food waste and helped us eat healthier in the process!
Listen to this Queer Money for advice to build good habits to save money at the grocery store over time and how to save thousands of dollars every year—simply by getting a handle on your food spending!
