1. I know that fresh fruits and vegetables are better than frozen, but they all have the same benefits. Buying frozen will enable them to last longer and you will save $$ by not having to throw out rotted or unused fruits and veggies.
2. If you do buy fresh fruit or veggies, look for the 2 for 1 sale. We have them all the time here in Colorado. That is when you stock up and you can always freeze them yourself to keep them longer as well.
3. Buy your protein/meats in bulk at a Costco or Sam’s Club. We buy 3 bags of chicken breasts at a time and they last for a couple months. Compare that to buying just 3-4 fresh chicken breasts that will last you a week and the savings are HUGE! I also buy big bags of berries in bulk to use in shakes, or to melt and use in snacks or on my protein pancakes.
4. Plan your meals for 2 weeks at a time and THEN go shopping. This will save you from endlessly walking through each isle picking up things you ‘think’ you might need. And you will only be making a trip to the store 2x a month as compared to daily or weekly.
So there you have some tips to get you started on saving on your grocery bill.
