HOW TO SAVE MONEY WITH A GROCERY LIST

Frugal grocery shopping lists
Making out a list before you go shopping will not only save you time, but it will also help to keep you focused and not get side tracked by tempting offers. However this will only work if you keep strictly to your list and not go shelf browsing.
Tips for writing out your frugal grocery shopping List:
* Decide in advance your next week’s meals and note down the ingredients required.
* Check your cupboards to see what ingredients you do not have or need to re-stock.
* Check your staple items such as bread, milk, cleaning products and personal care items.
* Once you have made your list keep it available for next week, it will come in very handy as reminder of items that you regularly need. I sometimes forget to buy some the basic items if I don’t have a list, I suppose it’s because they are a bit boring I guess.
MY THOUGHTS
i never prepare a grocery list. i like browsing the grocery shelves. naturally, i always overspend. worse, i waste a lot of the things that i bought since overspending usually means over stocking.
but before you prepare your grocery list, you should start with a meal plan for the week? how will you know what to buy if you don't have meals planned?
