If you’re like me, your food budget (across groceries and eating out) is a major drain in your budget. To help us combat the rising cost of food and to reduce what we’re spending each month in our food category I’m talking with Gina Zakaria, who is better known as the Saving Whiz on the show this week. Gina was able to slash her grocery bill from $1,200 to $400 a month for a family of four and the savings in her food budget was the main driver in her journey to pay off over six-figures worth of debt in 5 years.

Through her Saving Whiz platform and social network of over 3 million people, Gina teaches simple strategies that make it easy to save money. Her mission is to empower others to save in a way that doesn’t feel depriving. She’s been featured on Good Morning America, NBC Today, Forbes, Money, and others. Gina also runs her online community, Super Savers, where she coaches and guides members to save money the easy way, so they have more money for things they love.

In this episode we dive into Gina’s personal story and debt payoff journey and she shares her best tips on how to find the best deals, how to prep and process your food, how to handle freezing food and leftovers, and we also get her thoughts on things like buying in bulk and the best way to compare deals across stores. She also shares the importance of mindset in her methods and how you can use these mindset tools to eat out less and spend less on takeout each month. This is an episode that will no doubt save your hundreds of dollars. Enjoy!
