Money-Saving Tips for Grocery Shopping

Becky Guiles, the self-proclaimed most frugal mom in America, has some money-saving tips for grocery shopping. Her first tip is to make sure you have a list when you're going into the grocery store, which will keep you on track and on budget. She says don't pay extra for convenience and buy fruit whole instead of pre-cut. Also, when it comes to fresh produce, Guiles says to stay away from anything prepackaged.

I'm glad my mother taught me well. Honestly the going in with a list is the best tip.

More tips: Don’t always buy name brands, keep and eat leftovers, save seeds from veggies to grow your own in the spring, talk to the store employees about deals or the best prices for your food needs. The employees at my store’s deli always help me find the best deals.

For the past year or so I’ve just been utilizing the grocery drive up option. I receive only what I need and I’m not wasting money buying unnecessary items 👍🏾

#1 Money-Saving tip: don't spend at all and just eat water.

My mom never taught me about grocery shopping and most of the time I buy extra stuff like chips, cakes, sodas, etc. I always feel bad for buying extra stuff that wasn't necessarily good for my wallet and body. This video will definitely help me thank you!

Another tip is to buy the store brand instead of the name brand. I usually do this at Albertson's (California). It can also save you money.

Remember, Store Brand and Name Brand products, sometimes come from the same place. It is just named Differently.

Buy generic when ever possible. The name brand stuff is crazy expensive unless it’s on sale. My kids don’t mind the Walmart brand Oreos $2 vs $6

Anyone who didn’t know these super basic things probably is still living with their mommy and isn’t an adult yet

Another tip is to never go grocery shopping when you're hungry. It may sound a bit odd, but if you're hungry, you're going to impulse buy so much junk food and stuff you'll eat once and throw away when it expires later.

YOU WILL SAVE MONEY!! 💰honestly she isn’t wrong, I never leave the house without my list of what I need to buy for my family. ❤

Oh wow who knew to look up and down for a cheaper prices at the grocery store🤣🤣

[bbygrlpt]

I always take a list and my grocery bill hasnt gone up much.. And a physical list is even better I love it😆

[dazem]

I do all these "tips" plus check the store's flyer for any good deals and base my dinners on that sometimes.

[TheEndleader]

I like "Buy 2 for price of one""
or
"50% off"

Plan meals around what's on sale. When stuff is on sale, buy extra and store or freeze. Buy in bulk when possible.

Thank you. I will make sure to use these tips the next time I go to the grocery store

How to avoid waisting money with coupons:

1. Don't buy something you don't need just because you have a coupon for it.

2. Do a price comparison with store brands. Store brands may still be cheaper than the coupon item.

3. Don't buy a product that you currently have enough of. So see how much of a product you have before going to the store.
