21. Look Higher or Lower For The Best Deals– Manufacturers pay grocery stores to have their items stocked at eye level, so literally look higher or lower for the best prices and the best deals.
22. Buy Cheaper Cuts of Meat and Learn To Tenderize– If you learn how to tenderize meats, you can buy cheaper cuts of meat and have wonderful, tasty meals. Also if you are using stew beef and cooking all day in a crock pot, you can use a cheaper cut of meat and still have a wonderful result. Often stores will have cheaper cuts of meat on sale with great deals. For example, just last week I purchased sirloin steaks at buy one get two free. So for $16.00 dollars I ended up with six meals for two of us, making each meal only $1.34 per person for an 8 ounce steak. We simply marinate the steaks or use meat tenderizer and refrigerate them overnight before putting them on the grill and they are tender and delicious. A good friend of mine takes two steaks and puts them in the crock pot with a little milk and a can of cream of mushroom soup and cooks them that way. So if you are a little creative in the way you cook you can have premium steaks for a very low price.
23. Cut Back On Meat Consumption– This is actually good for you. One or two nights a week make a salad or pasta for dinner. This will save money by eating for less and eating healthy.
24. When Making Soups and Chili Make A Double Batch– When preparing soups and chili make a double batch and freeze half or eat the second meal later in the same week. When you freeze meals make sure you date them and use them within three months. This is a great way to save money and time and create a good meal for another day.
25. Figure Out What You Currently Spend on Groceries– Figure out how much you spend weekly or monthly on groceries and then figure out how much you save after implementing money saving strategies. Take the difference and stick it in a savings account either weekly or monthly. I have saved about $15.00 per week on my grocery cost for two people.
