* If you can save money, over the course of a month or two, by buying in bulk, plan to do so. But be sure that you’re going to use all of it before it gets bad — it isn’t cheaper to buy in bulk if you don’t use it.
* Buy produce in bulk when it's in season or on sale and freeze it. After washing, submerge small amounts of veggies in boiling water for a minute; cool in ice water. Drain, then pack in a freezer container. Wash berries and lay in a single layer on a baking tray and freeze; place in an airtight container.
* Don't limit it yourself to the same fruits or vegetables every week. Try a new fruit or vegetable each week
* Store Employees may agree to mark down prices on items that are expiring the next day — just ask!
* Canned salmon. It has more calcium than fresh, and it's also a more economical choice.
* Shop only once a week. You’ll tend to spend more if you stop at the store every day or several times a week.
* Clean out your fridge, freezer, and cupboards once a month. Use up what you bought before buying more.
