Eat what’s in season
Not only are seasonal produce tastier, but they are cheaper too! Buying strawberries during winter will cost you more money than purchasing them in the spring. That’s because there are costs required for transportation and storage of those out of season produce. Being more easily available is also more eco-friendly.
Shop on Wednesdays
Most people do their grocery shopping during the weekends and chances are you do the same as well. But do you know that Wednesday is the best day to go grocery shopping? That’s because this is the day of the week when many supermarkets do add changes and run deals. For instance, Whole Foods offers new deals on Wednesdays every week. Also, that’s the day when produce and fish are freshly restocked on shelves.
Join supermarket loyalty programs
Nowadays almost every grocery store has a rewards program that allows you to earn a certain percentage on your next purchases or to receive coupons and other special deals. Check your local grocery store’s websites and see which are more convenient for you. Keep in mind that some loyalty programs do cost money but it might be worth it as you’ll receive some exclusive deals.
Most rewards programs come in form of a physical card, an app with a digital card or simply through using your phone number. This means that other family members can use it too when they go shopping, helping collect gift points for the whole family.
