1. Plan your meals in advance and make a detailed grocery list to stick to when shopping.
2. Buy generic, in-season produce to cut down on cost.
3. Buy in bulk, when possible, to get the most bang for your buck.
4. Seek out store brands and coupons, which can help with overall savings.
5. Avoid pre-cut or pre-packaged foods, which are usually more expensive.
6. Shop at discount grocery stores that offer reduced prices.
7. Buy staples, like rice, grains, and beans, in large quantities to save money.
8. When possible, buy fresh, frozen, or canned food items in large quantities rather than individual serving sizes.
9. Look for deals and in-store specials.
10. Try to purchase non-perishable items when they are on sale and stock up for later.
