Grocery shopping is a necessary evil. We all have to do it. But how much it costs you and how long it takes you is completely negotiable. I have found that grocery shopping causes the least headaches when paired with a simple plan.
You Need a Grocery List
Track items as you run low. Don’t wait until you run out or you will pay full price for the items you need.
If you determine what makings of a meal you already have, you can finalize it into a plan of what you want to make for the week.
Once you make a list of any items you still need, pay attention to items on sale this week. Use coupons to stretch your grocery budget (visit sites that offer coupon matchups for your store by doing a Google search ( i.e. “Food Lion matchups” or “Food Lion deals”)). Organize the list in the same order as the aisles.
Grocery Trips Need to Be Efficient, Affordable, and Scheduled
How do you accomplish this?
- Organize the list in the same order as the aisles.
- Aim for the lowest prices on each item you buy.
- Set a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly shopping schedule and stick to it.
Grocery shopping causes the least headaches when paired with a little planning. As you shop, be open to any brand. Be willing to pass if the item is too expensive (i.e. not on sale or if you don’t have a coupon). Make substitutions if possible (i.e. you want butter, but could use margarine).
Shop once weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc. The quick “run-in-the-store-to-get-one-thing” trips will kill your budget. Keep the 6 week sales cycle in mind, only stocking up to get you through that time period.
