ADVICE

Stretch Grocery Dollars With Filling Foods

  • Plan meals, write a shopping list, check your pantry, and stick to the list to avoid impulse buys.
ADVICE

Time Shopping For Markdowns

  • Shop groceries on slower days or right before the weekend to catch markdowns and end-of-day bakery discounts.
  • Use discount apps like Flash Food or Too Good To Go for steeply reduced items.
INSIGHT

  • Cutting big fixed costs like housing and transport saves far more than trimming small daily purchases.
