Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Save some money by.....


Visit the bulk bins at your local health food and grocery stores. You can buy exactly what you need with no waste and it's often less expensive per pound. In addition to grains, you can score a deal on dried herbs and spices as well as nuts, seeds and dried beans.

If you're buying produce that is priced by the item rather than by the pound (such as heads of lettuce, lemons, or avocados), take advantage of the store's scales and weigh the item to find the heaviest. This way, you'll be sure you're getting the most for your money.

It may be a pain, but the best way to save on groceries is to shop at more than one market. You'll soon find that one store will have cheaper produce, one will have cheaper meat, and so forth. Explore grocery stores you've never shopped at - perhaps one that is closer to your workplace or gym rather than by your home - and you may find even lower prices. We've even found cheaper products at stores that are the same chain, just a different location. Write down the prices of your most frequently purchased items, or bring a receipt from an average grocery trip with you. That way you can be sure to remember where the prices are the most reasonable.
