TOP 10 đź’° SAVING TIPS
FOR YOUR KITCHEN

Develop a core list of stores to shop at…

…making it easier to identify the best prices they offer on items you buy regularly. It will also be easier to pick up on their sales cycles without too much effort.

Download the apps of the stores you frequent…

…to get an inside look at special deals before you head in-store. And, if you like to compare prices, some apps will allow you to do that before leaving home.

Keep an extra unopened item…

…of [just about] everything you keep in your kitchen. Running out to buy something when you run out, almost guarantees you’ll buy at the highest price.

Consider warehouse store memberships…

…to save on items you use the most often. Though sold in higher quantities, the unit prices are often equivalent to, or better than the sale prices at regular stores.

Learn which modern day conveniences…

…are costing you extra, versus those that are offered for free. All drive up and delivery services are not created equal.

Keep a running grocery list electronically…

…to make it easier to hit drive up and delivery minimums. It’s much better to spend a couple of extra dollars on merchandise, versus an unnecessary service fee.

Take a peek at your favorite store’s circulars â€¦

…to inspire meal ideas and save money at the same time. Flipping through what’s on sale can help you plan around what’s reasonably priced this week, versus trying to come up with ideas from scratch.

Prep your produce …

…to extend the life. Many items will last longer, and not go bad as quickly once they are rinsed, or chopped, or frozen, or stored in water, etc.

Use storage containers for leftovers â€¦

…versus storage bags and wraps. Sealed containers will preserve food longer by locking in moisture.

Learn more about the dates on your packages…

…like sell by date versus expiration date. From my research, many of those dates are for suggestion only, and it can save us money when we rely on our senses instead.
