15 TIPS TO HELP YOU START GROCERY SHOPPING ON A BUDGET

Food is expensive these days. With rising inflation, everyday items have become less affordable. Americans all over the country are having to revise and tighten their budgets, especially in the grocery category.

Grocery Shopping on a Budget: First Learn To Cook

Cooking can be daunting for people who have never done it and feel like there’s not enough time in the day. Thankfully, the internet is full of cooking videos and blog posts, with recipes for every type of person. If you don’t know how to cook, let YouTube help you learn the basics.

Consider making your own “snack packs” at home using fresh fruits and veggies, nuts and dried berries, cheese, or whatever else you want to add. You can portion them into small Tupperware containers, so you still get the “portion controlled” aspect.

Avoid Snack Packs

Consider shopping for fresh produce if your city has a local farmer’s market. Not only will you support local farmers, but their produce often has fewer pesticides and is significantly cheaper than most grocery stores.

Shop at Farmer’s Markets for Produce

Stores will often send you printable coupons and grocery delivery or pickup offers. Make sure that you’re only using coupons for items that you need. Only some sales are good deals.

Sign Up for Grocery Store Emails

Food thrown away because you didn’t use it by its expiration date is a massive waste of money. You can split up produce such as bananas and grapes based on how many you need.

Only Buy Perishable Goods in Quantities You’ll Use Immediately

Don’t limit yourself if you can get a better deal on an item at a different store than the one you usually go to. A deal is a deal.

Shop Around for Deals, Don’t Only Shop at One Store
