Easiest ways to save money on grocery shopping and what it will do for you:

Did you know that buying one bag of off brand cereal can save you 2.00 per week? I know that is not much, but when you find 5 other things that can save $2.00 that is a savings of $10.00 a week, or $40.00 a month or $480 a year.

Add more veggies into your stew and soups so you can get two meals out of one. How much of a savings could that add up to each month? That is about $80-120 per month.

Shred your own cheese, chop your own veggies instead of convenient bags, buy frozen veggies instead of canned (when on sale). That can save you about $40.00 per month.

Double up on recipes and freeze. This will save you from swinging by a fast food place and can save a family of 4 between $80-100.00 per month.

By having precooked ground beef and chicken (cutting into strips) can also save you from going out for a quick bite or calling for pizza. Savings of $40-100 per month.

Having Campbell soup (mushroom or chicken) on hand can save a family from going out to eat too!
