Since we need to eat and eat regularly, saving on groceries is one of the most important aspects of financial management to look at when it comes to cutting costs. That is unless you're filthy rich and don't have to worry about budgeting for food!
The average household budget for food depends of course on how many people you're feeding and taking into consideration such things as special diets, allergies, etc.
The best philosophy to have in terms of saving money on food is this.....things have to go on sale eventually. The other part of that philosophy is to work hard at cutting as much fat from your food bill as possible.
This will unerringly help you financially. Especially if you're feeding a family or you're on a fixed income.
Savings of any measure is money in the bank.
Let's look at some great ways to make your food budget work better.
Although many of these things are not new ideas, they still have merit, no matter how many times we hear them or apply them to our own spending style.
Coupons are not a scam. Couponing can actually save you a ton of money. If you have to pay for coupons, I think the idea is probably not a good one. There are tons of coupons on products, in the paper or even on company websites. If you have to sign up to receive them, that's perfectly great but if you have to pay to get coupons, totally defeating the purpose in my opinion. I have couponed myself although in recent years, products we now use because of dietary considerations have made it harder to do. But at one time, I saved over $50 on my grocery bills all the time just by couponing. I have friends who are literally pros at couponing. One of my girlfriend's husband is the all-time winner!
Rebates and frequent shopper programs/rewards. Use whatever you can to reduce your final price at the checkout stand. If you have rebates, and if you really truly like the products, use them. Write to the company via email and ask if they have some coupons you don't know about or haven't seen....you never know unless you ask. Years ago, when we didn't have the Internet and email, I wrote to companies and for the price of a stamp, got back tons of coupons that I could use all the time. It pays to "keep in touch" with companies you support.
Generic is not a bad word. If you can find generic in anything, compare the ingredients and then I encourage you to compare the price. It's not going to hurt anyone or anything if you use generic! Generic almost across the board is better budget wise because it costs less. The only time not to buy generic is if a name brand is on super sale and is lower in price than the generic. Using generic items is like putting money back in your pocket.
Shopping around. It's a fact when it comes to grocery shopping that if you want to save money, you're not going to be able to convenience shop. You're going to want to sale shop or price compare shop if you truly want or need to save money. It's that simple. You can always ask a store to match the price you saw or paid at another store. If they're smart and totally into customer satisfaction, you'll get price matching. Then you'll also know for sure that that's the place you want to spend more of your bucks. They should match the price of another store if they want your business. Negotiate everything you possibly can!
It's a numbers game. I'm always trying to do the numbers in my head. If this product is 10 ounces and that product is 12 ounces, which is the better deal? Come to find out the answer was there all the time right in front of me. It's called unit pricing. Oh duh! You can find the price per unit right on the shelf most of the time. Of course if you're looking for nutritional information as well, once you decide for yourself which is the better deal, then you also have to decide which is the better meal.
A label is just a label. Advertisers have been messing with us for years so it should come as no surprise at all that labels say one thing and products say another. You do have to decide for yourself which are the healthier products for the money and don't take the advertising word for it. Do the math, do the fat calculations, do the cholesterol figuring. Or ask a nutritionist or research it on the Internet. Find out which product is better and then shop around to find the best price for what you want.
Everything goes on sale sooner or later. This is my theory and I'm sticking to it. If you find it on sale, buy it in greater quantities. Store it, freeze it, do whatever you can to buy in bulk and save it for another day. Divide it up when you get home if you're freezing things like meats or divide into smaller quantities. The fact is, you'll save lots of money if you can buy it on sale...and even more if you can buy in bulk. Buy as much as you can without having it spoil or go to waste. Even consider dividing it with friends and family. You will save money!
Attitude and timing is everything. If you go shopping when you're hungry or tired, you're going to spend ridiculously more money than you'd like to. If you're depressed or just had something bad happen, probably the same scenario. If you don't have a list and you just buy what you think you need, you're going to end up punching a hole in your grocery budget. The best plan experts say is to have a weekly menu, then compile a list that you do not deviate from when you shop. There is the caveat that if you see a great deal on something you use all the time that you go for it. However, if you refrain from buying on impulse and shopping at times when you're not at the top of your game, you will save dough!
Invest in a freezer. If you really want to save money on groceries, you'll figure out a way to buy a small freezer. Then you'll buy in quantity and freeze it (all labeled of course so you manage to use it before it goes bad). You can freeze all kinds of things but you can also freeze meals ahead. Cook in quantity and then have small containers at the ready say from the Dollar Store. Pop them into the freezer for a quick meal another day. Freeze things like fruits or vegetables you've grown or bought at incredible prices.
Learn how to can. Strange as it may sound, you can put up food from your own garden or stuff you bought on sale throughout the seasons that are incredibly priced and will keep on your shelves for years. Just make sure you know proper and safe canning techniques and use the recommended temperatures and equipment to do it safely. This is a technique generations before us had for using everything they had to the utmost degree. It still works! I've canned everything from applesauce to peaches, green beans to jams. It is such a wonderful treat to have something that isn't in season at the moment and is a fantastic way to save money. Have a canning party with someone you like...it's a great way to put up many jars and divide the work.
Keep your eyes on the scanner. Make sure that things are rung up properly and even if you're watching purchases being rung up, don't leave the store without looking at your receipt. Make sure you weren't overcharged for anything or that you received money off for coupons. If you don't check your receipt and go home only to discover that you were overcharged, go back and have them make it right. Also keep your receipts as a record of what you spent for what. This is a great way to track expenses and keep a grocery journal.
Know the value of everything. Know the best prices for produce during what season. Know what things are in season and out of season. Know what "fair market value" is for anything that you buy and if you can't find it at one store, find it somewhere else or even online. You should never pay more than you need to for anything.
Learning to cook meals simultaneously can also shave a lot off your grocery bills. It can also help you get the most from whatever you buy in terms of freshness. For instance, cooking a beef meatloaf at the same time as a salmon loaf will not only save on your utilities (because you only fired up the oven once instead of twice) but it will also help you save time by preparing two meals at the same time. Throw in a few baking potatoes for both meals and maybe even an acorn squash and you've really used your time and your resources most efficiently!
Remember that anything touched by human hands is going to cost you more money. Sure it's convenient to have your chicken skinned when you buy it but it takes only minutes to slip the skin off yourself. Compare the prices per pound on different meats and see if you can't buy less processed portions and do part of the processing yourself. Usually for instance a rib eye roast will cost less than rib eye steaks already cut up. You can cut the roast into steaks yourself and save money or you can even ring the butcher and have them cut it for you!
When it comes to saving money, it's recommended to avoid the processed food aisles altogether. Taking things like pop, chips, snack foods....again anything processed by human hands....out of your cart can only save you money. Processed foods of any kind are going to be your high ticket items and even with coupons...do you really need them? Think of it as trimming the fat from your budget but also as trimming the "fat" from your life in terms of eating more nutritionally.
Think about farmer's markets for buying fresh or local organic food markets. Sometimes they can be a little on the pricey side but some of them have great deals. Also consider shopping specialty stores such as Hispanic markets for certain items. They will cost you less and chances are, will be better quality.
Also remember to look up and look down. Most merchandising is done with things at eye level to maximize sales. Deals will be on top, on the bottom or on the sides of displays. Always check the ads before you go and while you're making up your menus and shopping list.
Consider going meatless at least one time per week and you'll save money. Build good vegetarian menus and use them intermittently such as meatless chili or a vegetable pasta. Make the most out of your meals by using your leftovers...either for lunch or for another meal.

Awesome advice on how to save money on groceries. There are some ways to save that are right under your nose and are easy to take advantage of. You just have to know where to look and be willing to take the time to look for them. Great tips here.
Great Article, it offers some good tips I didn't think about!
Great point to make, Sally's Trove - I buy things at a Hispanic market and some at an Asian market and you are right..as long as you have a separate list and buy there all the time, it's well worth it! Whatever it takes to save money is my motto!
Super advice for shaving costs at the grocery, Audrey!
About "knowing the value of everything", a couple of years ago I bought a few red pears from my local supermarket chain, and the cashier was surprised at the cost. She said she'd just been to the Asian market a few miles away, and the same red pears were one-third the cost. I drove down there a few days later and was amazed at the difference in produce price, and also at the difference in price for items that are staples for Asian cuisine, such as rice and sesame butter. Ever since then, I make a separate list for the Asian market. It's worth the extra fuel cost to drive there for the great prices.
Love the coupon queen - Bob used to call me that way back when....we still coupon but find it harder and harder to find the coupons WE need for special diets - but we keep up all the other parts of our 'saving money' program. So glad you found it meaty!
Excellent advice. Monique has recently become a coupon queen, so when I go shopping now we regularly see the receipt reduced by 1/3 to 1/2 the normal prices. This was a good read with lots of 'meat on the bone'.
Glad to be of use, Darski - it's a constant battle for me not to buy other things just because I think I'd like to try this and that recipe. However, I've learned to just stick to the darned list! It keeps Bob happier when we check out and truth be told, there's only so many recipes I can try in 1 week so I've learned to space them out. It does help save money and also buying and freezing has really cut our bills...along with the other stuff. It's a constant thing though but in the long run, if you can save dough....sweet!
I think she was joking with us jobister but good point! Thanks for the tips, too!!
DRBJ - That could only work if you are single, if you have a family of four or more eating out can cost you $100-200 per week easily and chances are its not even healthy especially if you are eating fast food.
Akirchner - Great hub by the way, people should definitely consider looking at the ounces and the various price points available for the same product.
Now that is another strategy, BJ - have you considered coupons for your dining out? It would save money~!
Happy Valentine's Day to you as well - it's a great day for me as I get to skip the trip to the store and the stove and be wined and dined!
Perhaps I should think about your plan though in the future - for saving money and losing weight!
I have discovered, Audrey, the best way to save money when buying groceries at the supermarket is not to buy any. I no longer buy groceries.
Instead, I take the money I would have spent at the market and use it to eat out. The negative of this strategy is I can only afford to eat four days out of seven.
A very Happy Valentine's Day to you and Bob and the shaggy dogs.
Me, too Shelly though I hear you on the reinforcement! I try and keep my coupons in the car all the time in an envelope just so I'll remember to use them - but then every once in a while I drag them inside to see what I have and sometimes have forgotten them!
Nora - Thanks so much for the helpful website addition and your great comment!
Groceries are something we all need, so knowing how to save on them is a really good idea for everyone. You can even use daily deal sites or group buying opportunities to get discounts at your local grocers.
If you want to find the deals from all these daily deal sites and don't want to have to search them all individually, try http://www.dailydealpool.com. They'll send you just one daily email that includes all the best buys available in your area, so you won't miss out and your inbox doesn't get crowded!
Love this one.. I am a frugal shopper by nature I guess :). Most of this rings true for me already and other parts reminded me of what I need to focus on... coupons for instance. Thanks.
Thanks Suziecat for another good point - that is a great way to save!!
Another good one from you. I try to trim the fat from the food as well as the food bill :). I always shop the sales - what's on sale is what we eat that week.

There is one big mistake everyone makes when they begin to get organized. Want to know what it is? Containers, baskets and bins. That's right. People rush out and buy lots of containers before they know what they need and before they sort through what they have.
Here's how to approach the organizing process. We like to call it the Clutter Clearing System.
Step One: Form a vision for the space.
Let's take the kitchen. Family is coming over and you'll be hosting the holidays. Are the counters cluttered? Are the drawers packed full? What do you need the space to be like in order to host your family?
It's time to get real. Be authentic to the person you truly are. If you haven't used a certain kitchen gadget in over a year, you probably won't ever use it. This is a great time to toss ratty dish towels, chipped glasses and bowls. If you're not sure about an item you haven't used in a long time, consider this guideline: Could you replace it for around $25? If the answer is yes, do you really want that item taking up precious space in your cupboards? The golden rule is that 80 percent of any space is considered full.
Every item should have a home. The scissors (which frequently get misplaced in our home) belong in the top drawer of the kitchen. Anyone who uses the scissors should return them to their home. It's that simple. If another member of the family sees the scissors in a place they don't belong, they should return them to their home.
Now, is the time to get the containers. Take measurements to buy the right size product. Invest in clear plastic bins (so you can see what is inside) for the usual household items. The opaque or colored bins are great for holiday and seasonal items. Label the containers or the location where item belongs. We use the Brother P-Touch label maker. Labels really help everyone remember where things belong.
A habit is something that is performed over and over, until it becomes automatic. For example, you might automatically drive thru Starbucks on your way to work. Creating new habits can be tough. To make a habit stick, in the beginning you might need lots of reminders. Here are examples of habits that will help your home stay neat and organized.
Start the dishwasher every night before going to bed.
Empty the dishwasher every morning while the coffee percolates.
Strip the beds and wash the sheets every Monday.
Start a load of laundry before going to work.
Toss junk mail before you deposit mail where you will process it.
Shred sensitive papers the same day you pay the bills.
Always deposit dirty clothes into a hamper or laundry basket.
Return items to where they belong when you are done with them.
Organizing is not one a one-time activity, it's an ongoing process. If something doesn't work, change it! The same goes for making habits stick. If you are committed to staying organized, but have trouble remembering to perform certain tasks, you are most definitely not alone. Post stickie notes. Put it on your calendar. Phone notifications are a great cue that something needs to be done. Write yourself a note in a prominent location and check it off once its been done. Set alarms to go off.
If you've disorganized your entire life, don't expect overnight magic. Take it slow. Be consistent. You may need an accountability buddy to support you. Employ a new habit and really work to make it stick. Then tackle the next thing. Be mindful and celebrate your accomplishments, however small. You remembered to start the laundry five days in a row? Great! Stick with it!

They say the book is always better than the movie, and in the case of The Revenant, that is certainly true. Don't misunderstand, the film is breathtaking. The visuals are absolutely amazing, and Tom Hardy is phenomenal.
Honestly, if I hadn't read the book literally in the days before viewing the movie, I very well could have felt the frontier movie a masterpiece. But, as it stands, the film dove into fairly familiar waters while abandoning its source material.
I don't think I'm spoiling anything when I say Leonardo DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass, an actual historical figure who survived a bear mauling only to be left behind by his partners when it seemed obvious he would not survive. But lived he did, and he sought two men in particular to punish for committing an abomination against him. One of those men is Fitzgerald played by Tom Hardy, and in both the book and the movie you are unlikely to find a more unsettling fellow.
The movie depicts Glass as a heroic man, a decent man, a man with a just cause. The film follows a fairly linear course, is paced well, and, again, provides beautiful landscapes for the audience to behold.
But, truthfully, I can't say I felt satisfied by the movie.
In the movie, Fitzgerald kills Glass' son when the young man protests leaving Glass behind. Glass already lost the boy's mother as well as her entire tribe that took him in. His son, Hawk, was literally the last good thing he had, and Fitzgerald slid a knife between his ribs. That is Glass' motivation to survive and hunt Fitzgerald down. While doing so, he saved an Indian woman taken prisoner and regularly raped by her French captors. Her father, an important chief, later repaid Glass' brave act.
Here's the problem – none of that happened in the book. The book makes no mention of Glass having a son or saving any woman held captive by the French. The real reason he hunted Fitzgerald down is because the man stole Glass' rifle, his favorite thing in the world, before leaving Glass to rot.
Yes, Glass fought to survive a brutal bear attack to hunt down the man who stole his gun.
As you can imagine, Hollywood probably didn't think that motivation would sit well with a mainstream audience. It's obvious they added the son and Glass' good deeds to make him a true protagonist and someone the audience could feel good about, but in doing so they turned their back on the core of the book and, truthfully, the real Hugh Glass. They made Glass a typical Hollywood hero, something Glass was not.
The book is a fantastic read. It delves deeply into Glass' past, and Fitzgerald's, as well as several other significant men. Each of them had rich, complex backstories which the movie completely ignored. The book also made a point to show the passage of time by marking each chapter with a date. All in all, it took Glass over seven months to heal and locate Fitzgerald. The movie makes it seem as though it happens in a matter of days. Oh, and let's not even get into the endings.
I don't know what I would have thought of the movie had I not read the book first. However, having read the book, the film strikes me as a cliched, mutinous adaptation coupled with beautiful cinematography and scenery.
