First, you need to make a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu for the entire week. Then write a grocery list of all the items you need to cook the meals.
Second, once the menu and grocery list is complete, put a dollar amount next to each grocery item and total the cost of these items at the bottom of the list. This task will give you an estimate of your total grocery bill.
Next, I would also suggest you review the weekly ads of you local grocery stores. Only shop at the store with the best sales. The store you shop at will vary from week to week depending on your grocery list and the weekly sales ads. Third, before you go shopping make sure to get your coupons from the local newspaper or online. Some stores even double the face value of the coupon which saves you even more money. These may seem old to be an old fashion way to shop, but coupons still save a lot of money.
Finally, do not forget your grocery list and make sure you stick to it. The biggest problem that people have is buying things that they don't need. It can be very difficult to follow a list completely, but stick to it the best you can. The more you follow the list and do not deviate, the more money you will save.
The key to reducing your grocery bill is planning and sticking to your plan. If you make a meal plan, stick to your list, use coupons and shop at the stores with the best sales, then you will surely save money
