Buy the cheapest product in the grocery store.
Whenever I go to the grocery instead of my wife I ignore the brands we have in our cupboards and I often buy the least expensive version. The peanut butter I buy is $1.00 cheaper, the coffee I buy is less than half of what she opts for and the same goes for pasta sauces canned vegetables, etc. Many times the taste or quality is better when she does the shopping, but for cake mix or veggies which are going to be tossed in a casserole I can’t justify buying the pricier item and it feels good to save money.
If a person can save an average of $1.00 per item and the weekly shopping is 30 items that’s a savings of $120.00 a month. It doesn’t have to be uniform, one trip you can buy the cheap coffee, but the next trip buy the coffee you like but cheaper wine or pasta sauce.
Annual savings is $1440.00
