1. Only Buy On Sale
Start a stockpile, and only buy items when they are on sale.

2. Plan Your Menu Around the Sales
Enjoy cheap meals throughout the week by planning your menu around the weekly sales flyers.

3. Be Willing to Substitute
Have a recipe that calls for an ingredient that you don't have? Then, see if you can substitute it for an ingredient that you do have. It'll save you money at the store and space in your pantry.

4. Buy Ingredients Instead of Prepared Meals
Frozen dinners and boxed mixes may be convenient, but they're also more costly. Get in the habit of buying the ingredients that you need to prepare the foods that you eat, and watch your grocery dollars go further.

5. Shop Seasonally
Foods are cheapest when they're in season, so learn when all of your favorite foods are in season, and buy them then.

6. Switch to Generic
Make the leap from name brand to generic brand, and you'll shave an easy 25% or more off of your grocery bill. Some generics worth trying: cereal, spices and baking supplies.

7. Buy Reduced Price Items
Want a true bargain basement price? Then, scour every aisle of the store for reduced priced groceries. Ultra ripe produce, scratch and dent items, closeouts, food at or near its use-by-date – it's all reason for a reduced price sticker.

Not sure you'll be able to use something before its use-by date? Then, toss it in the freezer, and you won't have to.

8. Shop at Drug Stores
Grocery stores aren't the only place to look for grocery bargains. Get in the habit of checking the drug store ads for deals on cereal, oatmeal, raisins, spices, baking supplies, soda, paper goods and more.

9. Cherry Pick
Stores tend to sell a few items below cost each week to entice customers to shop. Learn to spot these bargains, and snatch them up – even if it means going to more than one store.

For help spotting the bargains:

10. Stack Discounts
A sale is nice. A sale combined with a coupon and a rebate? Well, that's even better. Look for any and every opportunity to stack discounts, and slash that grocery bill right down to size.

1只買打折商品

建立一個物資儲備，而且只在物料打折時購買。

2 計劃一個購物清單

根據每周的促銷傳單制定一周的菜譜，可以享受一周既便宜又美味的膳食。

3 準備替代

你是否有個食譜用來收錄那些你沒有的食材？然后你可以查看一下什么食材可以代替它，這樣你就可以既節省花在儲備食物上的錢又可以節省食物柜里的空間。

4.購買可替代精制膳食的食材

冷凍晚餐和盒飯也許是方便的，但是他們也更加昂貴。 養成自己購買食材動手準備食飯的習慣，你就可以看著你為食雜準備的基金進一步增長。

5.季節性采購
食物最便宜的時候就是他們正當季的時侯，因此掌握所有你喜愛的食物的上市時間，然后采購他們。

6.換購普通商品
從名牌商品轉換到普通品牌商品將很容易削減25%或更多的雜貨賬單。 有些普通品牌商品值得嘗試： 谷物、香料和烘烤用品。

7.購買減價商品
想要真正的廉價商品嗎？在商店的每個走道上搜尋減價商品。 熟透的產品、有抓痕和凹痕的產品，拋售，或接近保質期食物，它們都有貼上減價標簽理由。 不能肯定在保質期之前用上它們怎么辦？ 把它們扔進冰箱，不必擔心這個。

8.在雜貨店采購
食品雜貨店不是尋找特價商品的唯一地方。 養成查看雜貨店廣告的習慣，尋找他們在谷物、燕麥粥、葡萄干、香料、烘烤用具、蘇打，紙物品和更多的特價商品的信息。

 9.最佳選擇
商店傾向于每星期賣一些低價商品誘惑顧客購物。學會察覺這些特價商品，并且迅速搶購，即使意味著多去幾家商店才能確定哪些是特價商品：

10.積攢折扣
廉售很好。 廉售與優惠券和折扣結合呢？ 那就更好了。 尋找所有機會積攢折扣，就會大幅度削減食品雜貨賬單數額。
