Going Into the Weekend - Challenge #2

Here we go again, another weekend.

This weekends financial challenge is to save $10 on your grocery bill. Here are a few tips on how to do it:

Please NOTE, although individually you will look at these tips and say, it's only $1 but as I say $1 extra dollar a day is an extra $365 a year.

#1 - Do not buy pre-cut

You will find at least $2 per item here.

#2 - Buy vegetables or fruits that are in season

You will find at least $1 here.

#3 - Buy what is on sale

Adjust your menu for the week based on what is on sale. Find at least $5 here.

#4 - Change grocery stores

Changing where you shop (it has to be convenient you can't go cross town unless you are saving $$$$$$$). Depending on the store you could save $10 on your bill.

#5 - Use your freezer

The average household THROWS OUT $1500 worth of food every year! And multiply that by 10 years it's $15,000 - Crazy isn't it. If you make dinner use the leftovers for lunch or freeze for another dinner. Shop twice a week instead of once, buy less so you use what you buy. Wouldn't you rather have $1,500 extra for other enjoyable activities
