Newspaper & magazines

Look for sales

Avoid taking kids with you
If you are looking to limit your grocery bill, it is highly recommended that you do not take your kids with you for shopping. Apart from forcing you to buy unnecessary things, the kids will not allow you to concentrate on shopping. -

Shop on days that offer extra savings
Every major grocery store has specific days or time of a day when they offer additional discounts. Therefore, you should look into such promotions and take benefit of them for maximum savings. -

Make a list
