TIPS

  • For the best price, combine supermarket sales with coupons
    Combine a weekly store sale with manufacturer's coupons and you've got the making of a super deal. Some websites are already compiling the list for you, so let someone else do the work and track the sales online for free.
  • Buy low and stock high
    When the price on a product is particularly low, considering buying more than you need right now. Look carefully at the expiration dates and buy only as much as you feel you can consume before the products expire. Buying extra items now means you [...]
  • Don’t fall for the Buy X for $Y trick
    A common grocery store discount will say something like "Buy 5 cans for $5." Read the sign carefully and look for the words "Must Buy 5". If you do not see the words "Must Buy" then you can purchase as many (or as few) as you want at the discounted [...]
  • Shop different supermarkets for different items
    Supermarkets have weekly sales on goods throughout the store, which they publish in a weekly circular that can be picked up in the store or from the local newspaper (usually included in the Saturday or Sunday edition.) Try looking through each [...]
  • Checkout again and again at the same store for great deals
    Some sales have a limit to the number of items that can be purchased at one time (the limitation is usually listed in the supermarket circular and on the shelf price tag). A limit of 4 means that any additional items will be charged the regular [...]
  • Not all sales are good deals
    Even when an item is on sale always compare the unit price and check your price log. Some store sales are only for a few cents reduction on the regular price. The larger size package of the same product or from a different manufacturer might still [...]
  • Look all around for better prices
    Some shoppers don't realize that companies pay for the shelf space their goods occupy in the grocery store. The shelves at eye level are more expensive because they are easier for shoppers to see. Be a smart buyer by looking all around the aisles [...]
  • Make a list, but don't ignore big surprise sales
    Shopping lists are a great way to remember important items and to recall good sales going on in the store that day (always carefully check your closets and pantry before writing something on the list as it is possible you already have it in stock). [...]
  • Consider leaving helpers at home
    Careful shopping habits are wonderful ideals to pass down to your children, however long trips can be hard for them. Plus, you will most likely find yourself making (expensive) purchases not on the list to reward their good behavior.
  • Eat before you shop
    Don't go to the grocery store on an empty stomach. Hungry shoppers are more likely to make impulse purchases and less likely to pay attention to prices. A quick $5 bag of chips can really hurt your grocery budget. The best time to shop is after a [...]
  • Substitute ingredients
    Some recipes call for ingredients that you normally don't stock in your house or you currently don't have. Instead of buying a new bottle of something that you might only use once consider a substitute. Try the resource below for some replacement [...]
  • Search for the clearance section
    Grocery stores often pull items from the shelf because the are going to stop selling the product, because the package is slightly damaged or because the item is nearing its expiration date. Look for a clearance table or clearance shelf in your local [...]
  • Know your storage limits
    Bulk buying, freezing and stocking up are great ways to save money, but they can be great ways to lose money too. Consider your storage space and actual eating habits before committing to large purchases. When freezing foods, follow the correct [...]
  • Pay attention at the register
    Mistakes happen. Sometimes the price on the shelf is incorrectly linked to the product's bar code. Sometimes a weekly sale was not entered into the store's computer system. Sometimes the cashier accidentally scans the same item twice. And, sometimes [...]
  • Choose the right store for the right product
    Supermarkets aren't the only place to buy groceries and household goods, and in some cases the supermarket is more expensive. Drugstores (e.g. CVS, Rite Aid) sell personal care items and often have a small section for basic groceries. Large [...]
  • Watch the clock to take advantage of special deals
    If a supermarket doesn't sell a perishable item by a certain date, then it is required by law to throw it away. This can mean large last minute savings to conscious consumers. Many stores have an internal schedule for when they reduce the price of [...]
  • Keep a price log
    A price log is a valuable asset to the savings arsenal. It is an easy way to help you remember the price of every item in every store, every week. Use a cheap notebook or computer program to track the normal unit price and the sale unit price of [...]
  • Check for multiples discounts
    In addition to sales on individual items, some manufacturers combine products for larger discounts. The weekly supermarket circular will sometimes contain a special discount when multiple items are purchased together. For example: 'Save $10 off your [...]
  • Be cautious around wholesale stores
    Just because something is being sold at the warehouse store does not mean that it is necessarily a good bargain. Many food items (especially name-brand products) are less expensive at the local supermarket. Always compare the unit price at both [...]
  • Save money by switching brands
    Comparison shopping is one of the best ways to save money at the grocery store as the shelves are filled with competing products. Brand loyalty is understandable for some grocery items, like those with a unique flavor (e.g. ketchup, cola.) But, for [...]
