Grocery Tip of the Week

Shop with a list!

Make a grocery list and stick to it.  Don’t be tempted by instore ads or specials if it’s not on your list.  Unless it’s something you KNOW you will use – like laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc.

Also, leave the kids at home when grocery shopping.  You’ll be amazed how much you save by not adding all of those little extras onto your grocery bill!

List at a Glance
