Proven secrets to save you 30% to 50% on your weekly groceries

After your grocery shopping....

Unpacking
When unpacking your groceries, I always unpack my frozen and refrigerator items first to keep them fresh. I do my pantry grocery items last because I usually spend more time reorganizing to make room. As mentioned previously, don't just throw your items in your pantry. Keep similar items together so you can find items easily and always know what you have in stock

Calculate Your Grocery Savings
Keep track of what you spent and what you saved. I use an Excel spreadsheet that will calculate the percentage I saved and keep a running total for each month and the year. I find that the more I save, the more motivated I am to keep working to save more.

Going on Vacation
I bring my coupon box when we drive the hour and a half to my mother-in-laws lake house and the 8 hour drive to my cousin's house. I find that the grocery stores near their house's have different items on sale than what goes on sale near my house. I have stocked up on numerous pantry items this way and have saved even more!

I also find that the coupon's in their local paper's are for different grocery items than the coupons in my local paper.
