In today’s economy, saving money wherever possible has become an essential for many people.Grocery prices continue to rise and yet incomes are not.However, good prices are available if you take a few minutes each week to plan your shopping.
In my experience, there are two main things you can do to really stretch your grocery budget.
1)Stock up on nonperishable items when they are on sale so you never have to pay full price for them.Sales are usually on an 8-12 week cycle, so purchase enough to get you through 12 weeks if possible so you are not paying full price in between sales
2)Save coupons and look for printable coupons to add to the sale prices to provide you an even bigger discount.
There are many more tips that help but focusing on those two is a great start.
Before we start, here is a list of acronyms commonly used:
BOGO – Buy one, get one free
SS – Smart Source (coupon inserts in Sunday’s papers)
RP – Red Plum (coupon inserts in Sunday’s papers)
One thing that is important to know about Publix is that they will accept most competitors’ coupons.I do suggest asking a manager in your store before shopping to be certain, but I’ve found that they accept most, if not all competitor coupons.
The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
