When it comes to frugal living, groceries are the most flexible spending category we have in our budget. Although coupons can help save money, it requires a lot of time and a lot of running from store to store.

Not only is it more expensive, you never know the effects boxed mac and cheese can have on your body. Many times those prepackaged foods can be made from scratch for less money and in the same amount of time.

I think just about every grocery store has a loyalty card these days. They may give you points for shopping there or allow you the fantastic sales they offer only with their card. Many allow you to punch in your phone number rather than carry those keychain cards with you, making life that much easier.

Buying in bulk can be a real money saver. Just remember to do your math first and decide whether you will be able to finish it before it goes bad. Buying fresh berries in bulk won’t save you any money if you have to throw three-quarters of them away because they all grew fuzzy winter coats. Throwing items away will not help to save on groceries.
