1. Only Buy On Sale
Start a stockpile, and only buy items when they are on sale.

2. Plan Your Menu Around the Sales
Enjoy cheap meals throughout the week by planning your menu around the weekly sales flyers.

3. Be Willing to Substitute
Have a recipe that calls for an ingredient that you don't have? Then, see if you can substitute it for an ingredient that you do have. It'll save you money at the store and space in your pantry.

4. Buy Ingredients Instead of Prepared Meals
Frozen dinners and boxed mixes may be convenient, but they're also more costly. Get in the habit of buying the ingredients that you need to prepare the foods that you eat, and watch your grocery dollars go further.

5. Shop Seasonally
Foods are cheapest when they're in season, so learn when all of your favorite foods are in season, and buy them then.

6. Switch to Generic
Make the leap from name brand to generic brand, and you'll shave an easy 25% or more off of your grocery bill. Some generics worth trying: cereal, spices and baking supplies.

7. Buy Reduced Price Items
Want a true bargain basement price? Then, scour every aisle of the store for reduced priced groceries. Ultra ripe produce, scratch and dent items, closeouts, food at or near its use-by-date – it's all reason for a reduced price sticker.

Not sure you'll be able to use something before its use-by date? Then, toss it in the freezer, and you won't have to.

8. Shop at Drug Stores
Grocery stores aren't the only place to look for grocery bargains. Get in the habit of checking the drug store ads for deals on cereal, oatmeal, raisins, spices, baking supplies, soda, paper goods and more.

9. Cherry Pick
Stores tend to sell a few items below cost each week to entice customers to shop. Learn to spot these bargains, and snatch them up – even if it means going to more than one store.

For help spotting the bargains:

10. Stack Discounts
A sale is nice. A sale combined with a coupon and a rebate? Well, that's even better. Look for any and every opportunity to stack discounts, and slash that grocery bill right down to size.

1只买打折商品

建立一个物资储备，而且只在物料打折时购买。

2 计划一个购物清单

根据每周的促销传单制定一周的菜谱，可以享受一周既便宜又美味的膳食。

3 准备替代

你是否有个食谱用来收录那些你没有的食材？然后你可以查看一下什么食材可以代替它，这样你就可以既节省花在储备食物上的钱又可以节省食物柜里的空间。

4.购买可替代精制膳食的食材

冷冻晚餐和盒饭也许是方便的，但是他们也更加昂贵。 养成自己购买食材动手准备食饭的习惯，你就可以看着你为食杂准备的基金进一步增长。

5.季节性采购
食物最便宜的时候就是他们正当季的时侯，因此掌握所有你喜爱的食物的上市时间，然后采购他们。

6.换购普通商品
从名牌商品转换到普通品牌商品将很容易削减25%或更多的杂货账单。 有些普通品牌商品值得尝试： 谷物、香料和烘烤用品。

7.购买减价商品
想要真正的廉价商品吗？在商店的每个走道上搜寻减价商品。 熟透的产品、有抓痕和凹痕的产品，抛售，或接近保质期食物，它们都有贴上减价标签理由。 不能肯定在保质期之前用上它们怎么办？ 把它们扔进冰箱，不必担心这个。

8.在杂货店采购
食品杂货店不是寻找特价商品的唯一地方。 养成查看杂货店广告的习惯，寻找他们在谷物、燕麦粥、葡萄干、香料、烘烤用具、苏打，纸物品和更多的特价商品的信息。

9.最佳选择
商店倾向于每星期卖一些低价商品诱惑顾客购物。学会察觉这些特价商品，并且迅速抢购，即使意味着多去几家商店才能确定哪些是特价商品：

10.积攒折扣
廉售很好。 廉售与优惠券和折扣结合呢？ 那就更好了。 寻找所有机会积攒折扣，就会大幅度削减食品杂货账单数额。
