Food is a necessity, but you can still save on it. It might only seem like a few bucks, but we all need to eat every day and it really adds up. Just saving $20 a week can convert to saving over $1,000 per year. Here are some tips on how you can save money on food.
1. Plan in advance. Know what you need beforehand. If you go without a shopping list, you’ll end up buying a lot more than what you need.
2. Don’t go to the store hungry. When you haven’t eaten in a while, everything you look at tastes good. By the time you know it you’ll end up with a cart full of junk food.
3. The checkout add-ons. Grocery stores make good money on items at the checkout lane. Things like chapstick, magazines, bubble gum, sodas and snacks. You can always buy these items in a pack cheaper instead of individually.
4. Use coupons. An investment into the Sunday newspaper can lead up to big savings if you buy national brands especially.
5. Buy generic. For things like lotion and many food products, there are cheaper alternatives out there. Sometimes they’re practically identical.
6. Buy in bulk. If something is on sale, stock up. This applies especially if the expiration date is months away and of course if you use these items on a regular basis

Some good tips to use before going to the grocery store next time.
I find that my membership to Sam’s Club (store similar to Costco if you’re not familiar with it) pays off. Buying in bulk works.
