Trips to the grocery store today can leave you with sticker shock. Fortunately, you can save money on your visits. According to CNBC Select, here are things you can do to get the most out of your grocery dollars:
Find a credit card that gives special rewards for grocery purchases. Also, don’t forget to sign up for grocery store loyalty programs that may give you a break on prices.
Don’t turn up your nose at supplier coupons. Go online to find them or clip them from the newspaper. You’ll be surprised what you might save. Of course, another avenue for savings is to join a wholesale club like Costco if buying in bulk suits your household.
Get organized before you shop. Make up a list and stick to it when you get inside. Look for sale items if they match up with what you truly need.
If you have competing grocery stores in your town, compare prices to see what works best. Take advantage of generic brands that offer the same quality at a better price.
Council of Seniors Wants to Help Stretch Your Dollars
You should be getting the most out of your Social Security check to cover expenses like groceries. Here at Council of Seniors, we’re working to get Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. This bill is an effort to make up for inadequate Social Security cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) paid out over a series of years. Once passed, you could be reimbursed $581 that’s been missing for far too long.
Signing our petition right away is the first step you can take to help.
