Download or read book Save Money on Groceries written by Tiffany Doerr Guerzon and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone wants to save money at the grocery store, right? The monthly food bill is the third-highest item in most family's budgets, after transportation and home costs. While the price of your mortgage or car payment are fixed, one place you can save money is by cutting the cost of groceries. But how? Food costs keep rising and many families have food allergies or intolerances that require the purchase of more expensive products. In this book, I share what I have learned about saving money on groceries through years of trial and error. My "back to basics" approach-such as buying in bulk, stocking up, cooking from scratch, buying on sale, and planning meals-can help you save significantly, without spending hours clipping coupons or driving to several stores each week. I also include information on saving apps, batch cooking, alternative buying methods such as food co-ops, and how to read price labels at the store to decipher the best deal, as well as tasty, nutritious recipes. This book will pay for itself in one grocery store trip if you apply these saving strategies that even the busiest of people can use.
