Additional Savings Tips

If you can't see yourself switching to these cheap alternatives, apply these money-saving tricks:

1. Budget at the grocery store: Create a grocery budget to make sure you leave the store within your means. Better yet, calculate how much you need to spend on each category, like snacks or dairy products.
2. Make a list: Plan your meals for the week before grocery shopping. Making a grocery list keeps you accountable and cuts down eating out expenses.
3. Stay away from the end caps: Special in-store promotions often occur at the ends of aisles. While some deals can save you money, more often than not, you'll overspend on unplanned items.
4. Use your phone: Comparison shopping in stores isn’t just for online shoppers. Make a quick search on your phone to see price differences between brands before making a purchase decision.
