Yahoo had an article today on how to save money on groceries without clipping coupons and it said:
“Buy only what’s on your grocery list
Duh. But, honestly, when’s the last time you resisted tossing an impulse purchase or two in your shopping cart? You’re not the only one: An estimated 60% to 70% of supermarket purchases are unplanned. Of course, sticking to a list requires actually making a shopping list. Would you do that for $112? That’s how much the average household would save in a month if they simply purchased only the items they intended to buy before they parked the car.”
Have a tough time resisting impulse buys? Of course the first rule is never grocery shop hungry (EVERYTHING looks so yummy in the store when you are hungry!) skip the candy and snack aisle entirely, and if all else fails, consider shopping via Peapod – your grocery store online. You select your items from virtual aisles (much less tempting to impulse buy when you aren’t seeing and touching the food) they pack it up and deliver it to you, you can give the driver your manufacturers coupons and use Peapod specials and coupons, and no impulse buys.
