Single Swizzle

Look around and you’ll find masses of people trying to save money at the grocery store. People are hunting through books and websites for shopping tips that will help their dollar go further. Luckily, your grocery store is full of clues so you can get the most from your money.

Check Unit Prices – If you look at the price of a bottle of ketchup or even a loaf of bread, there is usually a unit price on the tag. The unit price tells you how much money you’re spending per ounce. As food packages shrink, thus offering less product, it pays to see how much you’re really spending per ounce.

Scanners Can Be Wrong – When sale prices go into effect, some items may not have been updated to reflect the sales price, or were improperly cued in when prices were scanned. It’s important to watch as items are getting scanned at the checkout. If you aren’t able to watch, be sure to look over your receipt before you leave the store. You may get the item for free or the difference back.

Journal the Prices – Many savvy shoppers keep a price journal or notebook filled with the places they shop for groceries along with the prices of their most purchased products. This way when they are in a new store or looking over the sales, they can comparison shop before they buy. Oftentimes a store’s prices can differ up to thirty cents or more. This can be a good savings if you are using coupons.

Even the simple task of cutting coupons can bring you hundreds of grocery savings every month. Local news stations and even newspapers are passing shopping tips on to consumers every week in hopes of beating the dip in the economy, and shoppers are taking notice.
