Saturday's Tip!

Each Saturday I do grocery shopping. The best way I have been able to save money is by regularly cutting down on my food bill. I do this by shopping at (yes, count them) 3 grocery stores. The first place I hit is the local 99 Cent store where they stock up on vegetables and fruits that are every bit as good as the store I used to shop. On these items I figure I have saved at least 50 dollars off of my food bill. When I can buy raspberries for 99 cents and then head off to another store where they go for over three dollars I feel great about my bargain. Raspberries don't last too long in the refrigerator so I immediately place them in the freezer just as they are. I take out as many as I want (to flavor shakes or drinks) for individual uses. I purchased 6 little boxes for 6 dollars. In the stores I would have spent between 15 and 18 dollars for the same thing.

I am still learning techniques to spend less and I will share as I go. Happy Saving!
