that you can use at stores near you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick up the weekly flyers and coupons at several local

400;\"> for items that you eat often.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Split bulk purchases with a friend, so you can get a good price and avoid excess.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Double or triple a recipe, and freeze the extras for later.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use bulk ingredients across multiple meals in the same week, such as grilling a batch of chicken for several lunches and dinners.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Simplify your menu plans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make healthy, delicious meals without overly complicated recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try one-pot meals and sheet-plan recipes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule a \u201cleftovers dinner\u201d once a week.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Make your grocery list<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014now that you\u2019ve done all the prep work above!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be specific on amounts, so you won\u2019t overbuy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your list covers everything you need, plus a few things you want, to help you avoid impulse buys.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep a standard list of frequently purchased items to jump-start your weekly list.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Save money on groceries at the store:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Buy the generic or store brand<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for canned food, frozen food, dry goods, beverages, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be swayed by the flashy packaging of name brands, which contain the same ingredients and are made using similar production methods as generic brands.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discover that the taste, quality, and nutritional value of generic brands are just as good (and sometimes better) than those of name brands.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stick to the name brand if you come across a product you genuinely prefer over the store brand, but don\u2019t give up trying other generic products.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Compare the unit price of items <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to find the real deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the unit pricing label to see an item\u2019s cost per ounce, per pound, or per piece\u2014which can help you compare the prices of several brands.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the unit prices to compare larger vs. smaller packages of the same item because sometimes buying in bulk\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0the best deal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that the unit price listed isn\u2019t always accurate due to sales, so double-check.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Take a look at the clearance shelves\u2014<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sometimes straying from your list can lead to big savings!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for items near their sell-buy date, such as pre-chopped veggies or bakery items that you can use right away.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch for out-of-season or overstocked products that the store has marked down.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treat yourself to new foods or brands without paying full price.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Stay away from convenience items <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that charge extra for ease of preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skip the pre-chopped onion, pre-washed spinach, and pre-grated cheese since these are easy to do at home.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan to prepare a homemade sandwich or salad, instead of buying one from the deli counter<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pass up meal packages\u2014such as smoothie kits or meal kits\u2014when you can assemble the ingredients yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Avoid single-serve packaging <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for food and beverages.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy snacks in bulk and drinks in large containers, and then divide them into individual portions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your own snacks, such as popcorn and trail mix.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invest in a water filter to eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottles.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By following these supermarket savings tips, you can
