items like a rotisserie

expensive to buy food
items that are prepared.

4. Shop At Farmer’s Markets

shopping at produce
stands and farmers
markets, including the
cost.

cheaper when you buy it
locally as opposed to
buying it at any
supermarket.

5. Order Your Food Online
 There are very few things you
can’t order online these days,
and food shopping is no
exception.

let you set up a monthly
order, so you can order
gourmet meats like organic
steaks and have it delivered
right to your house.

your shopping list shorter so
your shopping trip can be

produce, healthy snacks, and
even sides online as well.

6. Clip Coupons
 When you clip coupons,
even though you might
only be saving fifty cents
or less, the savings do
add up, especially when
you’re paying expensive
city prices.
 A lot of stores accept
competitors’ coupons or
double the savings of
manufacturers’ coupons
as well.
 You can really put a lot
back into your wallet if
you dedicate the time to
do so.

7. Transport Wisely

convenient because

grocery store, but

real pain to carry.
 You can buy reusable
bags and get a collapsible
grocery cart.
 You probably won’t fit as
much inside them as you
could in your trunk, but it
will definitely give you
some more leeway with
how much you are able to
bring home with you.
