We’re a little nervous about what a mortgage will mean for us, so I’ve been trying to kick start my frugal living habits NOW – by finding great ways to save money on groceries.
I hate to admit it, but food waste is probably one the things I am MOST guilty of when it comes to utterly wasted money on groceries.
I’m implementing a meal plan and using lots of freezer meals now.
For years, I was an adamant only-fresh-produce-buying kinda girl. But if you want to save money grocery shopping, that means being WISE about what you’re buying!
Just buying a bunch of something because it’s on sale is actually a great way to WASTE money – you need to know that you’ll USE that thing stuff it goes bad.
3) PAY ATTENTION TO SALES, AND PLAN YOUR MEALS AROUND THEM
IF you’re meal planning around the sales, you should be making a list as you go. No brainer! It’s bizarre that something as simple as a list can save you thousands on groceries in the year, but it REALLY can!
