On Tuesday Sabrina taught us how to read the adds that come in your mailbox every week. And how to shop where you slash your grocery budget. It was so good to hear her ideas & suggestions. I've included her top points:
- Don't be afraid to shop the ads & clip coupons out of the paper
- Don't be afraid to go to multiple stores
- Shop discount stores:
-Winco
-Grocery Outlet
-Costco
-Dollar Store - Take advantage of the special store cards - they do work!
- Learn to buy generic = less expensive for same product minus the brand name.
- Don't be afraid to ask a store employee if you don't understand the coupons
- Don't be afraid to double dip on coupons = Using a manufactures coupon and a store coupon
- Learn to compare prices!
- Don't be afraid to buy discount or marked down meat. It will be fine if cooked that day or frozen that day.
- If the store is out of coupon item, get a rain check.
- Make a list and stick to it!!
She also had two other suggestions. Plan a weekly menu and plan your meals according to the ads.
