Medicare Card, Tip 11 on Saving Money
March 3rd, 2015
11) Save money on your grocery shopping: In a prior post about saving money we talked about avoiding impulse shopping. The local grocery store is one place where we tend to buy items we where not shopping for. Therefore one good way to save money on your next grocery shopping trip is to make a list and stick to it.
People who do food shopping with a list, and buy little else, spend much less money than those who decide what to buy when they get to the food market. The annual savings could easily be hundreds of dollars.
