The grocery store is one of the easiest places to start cutting a few dollars. This month, learn the art of the supermarket. Brands pay for their shelf space at a supermarket – so the expensive brands (who pay more!) have scored the space right at EYE-LEVEL or where your hands can easily reach! You’ll find cheaper brands right at the bottom or at the top!
Also, when you are in the meat department, look around for the bargains and discount meats. Meat that is perfectly safe and fine, but is due to expire in the next few days, will be greatly discounted and this is the perfect time to buy it! Freeze it when you get home and it will last for several months – and you’ve probably saved half-price or more! I have found that early morning (especially Sunday morning!) is the best time to find these deals!
Make cheese go further!
Grate it for sandwiches (mix it with grated onion and a little mayonaise for a tasty filling or dip and make it go even further!)
Grate it with apple for the kids.
Use parmasen for pasta and other hot dishes – a lot less goes further!
