Saving Money on Groceries

Some of you may have heard me recount the story of a time I ran into a friend when I went grocery shopping. She asked me how I was, and having just finished loading groceries into the car I replied, "I think I'm getting priced out of grocery shopping".

Does this feel true for you? Have you ever had this feeling? This is the number one reason I started meal planning, and one of the big reasons I decided to turn my passion into a business. I understand what it's like to deal with this month after month.

Below are a few ways you can save, and in the near future I'm releasing Fabulous and Frugal in the Kitchen, an online course to help give you even more suggestions to make a concrete dent in your grocery budget.

5 Ways to Save:

1. Price Match between stores- show your proof with paper and/or digital flyers!
2. Eat and Drink at home before you shop- if you're hungry, you will over-buy, and usually the most unhealthy things you walk past!
3. Shop the Perimeter Aisles- Not only is less-processed better for you, but cheaper and better for the environment!
4. Drink more Water, and Less Juice- start by watering it down. Not only is it nutritionally inferior to actual fruit, it's also more expensive then water!
5. Watch your Portion Sizes- Most of us overeat in a big way. It's not uncommon to over-consume in all the food groups, but especially in meat and alternates as well as grains and cereals.
