What's up everyone? Today I'm showing
0:03
you how to save a mountain of cash on
0:05
groceries. Real strategies that could
0:07
save you hundreds, even thousands every
0:09
year. These are the top eight tips to
0:12
save money on groceries you can use
0:14
right now. I've tested these at five
0:16
different stores so you don't have to.
0:18
The biggest, most game-changing tip is
0:20
at the end. Don't miss it. Ready to save
0:22
serious money? Let's get started.
0:25
Tip one, make a shopping list. Walking
0:28
into a store without a list is a recipe
0:30
for overspending. Stores are designed to
0:32
tempt you. Your list is your shield. Be
0:34
specific. Write exactly what you need.
0:37
Not just cereal, but one box of store
0:39
brand cornflakes. Stick to the list. If
0:42
it's not on there, it doesn't go in the
0:44
cart. This one habit alone can slash
0:46
your bill and keep impulse buys in
0:48
check. Master the list and you're
0:50
already halfway to winning. Tip two, use
0:53
coupons and cashback apps. Your phone is
0:56
your secret weapon. Download your
0:57
grocery store's app and clip digital
0:59
coupons in seconds. I save $22 in one
1:02
trip just from digital coupons. Stack
1:04
savings with cashback apps like Ibata or
1:07
Fetch. Scan your receipt, get money
1:09
back. Combine store coupons and cash
1:11
back for double the savings. Small
1:13
amounts add up. Over a year, it's
1:16
hundreds of dollars. Don't pay full
1:18
price. Get paid to shop. Tip three, buy
1:21
in bulk, but be smart. Focus on non-p
1:24
perishables you use often. rice, pasta,
1:26
paper towels. Bigger packages usually
1:29
mean lower cost per unit. I found paper
1:31
towels 30% cheaper per roll at Costco.
1:34
Only buy what you'll use before it
1:36
expires. Don't waste money or space.
1:38
Make a list of your household staples
1:40
and target those for bulk buys. This one
1:42
change can free up serious cash in your
1:44
budget. Tip four, shop store brands.
1:48
Store brands are often just as good as
1:50
name brands, sometimes better. I did
1:52
blind taste tests and most people
1:54
couldn't tell the difference. Store
1:56
brands can be 20, 50% cheaper for the
1:58
same product. Try the store brand
2:00
version of everything on your list at
2:02
least once. Multiply those savings
2:04
across your cart. It adds up fast. Stop
2:06
paying for a name. Start paying for the
2:08
food. Tip five, plan your meals ahead.
2:12
Map out your week's meals before you
2:14
shop. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Check
2:17
what you already have, then make your
2:18
list for only what you're missing. This
2:20
cuts food waste and stops you from
2:22
buying duplicates. No more last minute
2:24
takeout. Your meals are planned and
2:26
ingredients ready. Meal planning saves
2:28
you money and stress every single week.
2:31
20 minutes of planning can save you
2:32
hundreds a year. Tip six, never shop
2:35
hungry. Shopping on an empty stomach
2:37
leads to impulse buys and junk food. I
2:40
tested it. Shopping hungry cost me $32
2:42
more in one trip. Eat a snack before you
2:45
go. Your wallet will thank you. Hunger
2:47
overrides your logic and your list.
2:49
Treat grocery shopping like a test. Fuel
2:51
up first. This simple hack saves you
2:54
from costly mistakes.
2:56
Tip seven, always check the unit price.
2:59
The price per ounce or per item is the
3:01
real deal breaker. Bigger isn't always
3:03
cheaper. Compare the unit price to know
3:05
for sure. Stores use tricky sales to
3:08
distract you, but the math never lies.
3:10
Take 2 seconds to check the unit price
3:12
and always get the best value. This
3:14
habit guarantees you're getting the most
3:16
for your money. Outsmart the marketing
3:18
and become a savings ninja. Tip eight,
3:21
stack sales coupons and rewards. Plan
3:24
your meals around what's on sale each
3:25
week. Sign up for store loyalty programs
3:28
for extra discounts and rewards. Use
3:30
digital coupons on top of sale prices
3:32
for maximum savings. Buy store brands on
3:35
sale in bulk after checking the unit
3:37
price while sticking to your list and
3:38
shopping full. Combine all these tips in
3:41
one trip and you can save 50% or more.
3:43
This is the ultimate grocery saving
3:45
strategy. Master this and you've beaten
3:48
the system. Now, let's wrap it up.
