SAVING MONEY
Never grocery shop on an empty stomach
Studies show that people who shop while hungry spend more money than when they are full
Stick to your list – don’t venture into aisles you don’t need
If possible, try and shop for two weeks at a time
The less you go to the store, the less impulse buys you can purchase
Download store app and signup for rewards, if available
Open a store card that provides rewards, if available
Clip coupons (product and store)
Store – only used at the specific store (unless price-match)
Product – can use at any store
