The 10 Easiest Ways to Save On Groceries
Saving money on groceries used to mean spending hours of your day searching for coupons, clipping them out, and organizing them all before you hit the store. But nowadays, the art of saving money on groceries has changed in some pretty significant ways.
To help you sort it all out, Tawra from Living On A Dime is sharing 10 easy ways to save on groceries and stretch your family’s budget even further.
The first piece of advice Tawra gives for spending less money on groceries is to use up what you have. These food items may have been purchased or gifted in the past, but using them up eliminates the need to buy those items now and prevents waste.
Second, Tawra recommends only buying meat when it’s on sale. Meat is typically one of the more expensive items on your grocery list, and stocking up when it’s on sale can save you a ton of money during your next shopping trip.
Third, Tawra swears that chicken marinated in leftover pickle juice is both mouthwatering and delicious. She says you should never throw out pickle juice but should look for ways to repurpose it instead.
Fourth, if you get stuck with a product you don’t really like, such as light mayonnaise, you can always mix it with a product you do like so it doesn’t go to waste. This grocery-saving tip isn’t for everyone, but it does work in a pinch.
Tawra also says that you can take advantage of spills as a means of saving money on groceries. If your laundry detergent leaks, for example, simply wipe it out with a towel or sock and start a new load.
The last few suggestions Tawra makes for saving money on groceries include wiping your soap dispenser before washing dishes, cleaning out your freezer before a big sale, using coupons, shopping seasonal sales, and shopping the clearance section.

Nothing new here. I have done all of this and more for decades.
Does anyone know if you can shop clearance foods online, like at Walmart?
