Saving Money on Your Monthly Food Bill - Part 2





In this post we will continue to look at ways to save money on our monthly food bill.  How are you doing?  Are you making lists of what you need and then taking it with you to the market?  I like to also use the sales papers as my shopping list.  Reviewing the sale papers and circling items in the paper I plan to purchase.  Then figuring out how much all the items will cost. Another thing I do is keep labels or packaging of items that I don't buy on a regular bases along with any coupons in a Ziploc and items at my next visit to the market.

I have also notice that when Family Dollar, Ollie's, Big Lots have a sale you can't way around otherwise you may not get the sale item you want! The Dollar Store and Wal-Mart allow you to shop and pay for items online then pick it up at the store closest to you. Many times the items you will find online is cheaper than in the store. Let’s not forget about Sam Club, BJs for bulk items that you use all the time.

Also consider using the free information provided by many stores like Giant, ALDI's and discount stores such as Wal-Mart, Target and IKEA and other store magazines that offer coupons, recipes, and tips on how to displace food items, set a beautiful table.
