“Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.” — Warren Buffett
1. Plan Your Meals
Decide your weekly meals before shopping. This prevents impulse purchases and ensures you only buy what you need.
2. Make a Shopping List
Stick to a list based on your meal plan. Organize it by sections of the store to save time and avoid buying extra items.
3. Use Coupons and Loyalty Programs
Take advantage of store discounts, digital coupons, and reward programs to lower your total grocery bill.
4. Buy in Bulk and Seasonal
Purchase non-perishable items in bulk and fresh produce in season. It’s cheaper and often fresher than out-of-season options.
