My New Technic On How I Effectively Grocery Shop 2020
Question of the day how much is a reasonable amount to spend on groceries on a single female? I am on a budget any advice is appreciated. Please leave a commit down below? Thank You.
First things first I am on a budget. I have bills to pay debt that I have to bring down and presents I have to give to myself. Such as exercise equipment and books that I need catching up on and electronics I need to buy to keep up with the news and learn new concepts of technology.
I want to stress that America is a very diverse place. Every one's budget is going to look different with every expense that we have. So the best thing to do in that situation is to come up with strategies and tools to be able to get whatever you want on any budget. I pray everyone this season has at least $150.00 dollars at there disposal because this amount will help peoples' who budget is limited.
First you will need some tools such as your stores benefit digital coupon card. Which has the logo of the grocery store. The store card can be found in places like Giant Wegmans, Target, Shop Rite, Bj's, Costco and Wal-Mart. Just about all groceries stores have a store card that you can get digital coupons on. So once you get the card what ever sales and discounts are in the store at that particular time you will be able to receive that benefit on the card. The amount that is taken off might not be that much but every little bit counts. Make sure the card is on your person before leaving or have the card ready to scan with your stores phone app on your phone.
Next tool paper coupons. You can find these paper coupons in your daily flyer or call the grocery store so they can send you a flyer to your door. I have even seen some libraries have a bin of coupons set out for people who need them. Or you can buy the Sunday newspaper which has a ton of coupons. Lots of different magazines have coupons in them particularly the health, beauty, fitness, and book magazines. Bring those paper coupons once you get them put in a large descent size bag with you to the grocery store.
Wow I feel like there is an art to grocery shopping. OK you got the store card and paper coupons.
So now you need the money the most important things to take care of is your home no mater where you live. Make sure its clean, nice clean causal clothes for every season and food food food. It is important making sure your well feed. Having some sort of income is a plus. If you do not have enough money for at least $150 ban with other people who have your best interests and are on the same page as you to be able to afford food. Food is very expensive. There are food banks and government assistance that are helpful as well.
When I get to the grocery store I now stick to the basics Vegetables, Fruits and Seafood for the first $100 dollars I now get. The other $100 is on the canned food, the flour, eggs, spices, oils, coffee, tea, supplements like vitamin d and a multi vitamin water stock up on lots of water. I also found getting a large $25 dollar protein shake is very helpful when there is nothing left in your fridge. You do need at least $200 for a single person to get through the month it really sucks.
Places like dollar tree, dollar general and family dollar most of there food items is $1.00. A hundred items of food for $100 to get you back on track with the amount of food you have in your pantry. I love dollar tree I get a lot of frozen vegetables and fruits. I have seen water , cornmeal sugar eggs like a pack of four a lot of canned goods that are vegetables and fruit canned these goodies are good for emergencies. Whatever works for you keep searching through the dollar stores there are a couple of healthy food options. Then once you get the frozen canned and dry food go to the super market and buy your meats with any money that is left over.
You Tube is a great family based centered app that has videos current and past of people advice on how to grocery shop with limited money.
I Google everything and You Tube...Everthing I need the answer to.
Next bring your own reusable bags. Bags that are deep and can carry a lot of foods. These bags are usually made out of cotton or mesh. Grocery stores love it when you do this because it saves them money on bags and reduces the amount of plastic. Yeah lets all go green I do not see this as a bad thing helping the environment by reducing the amount of plastic produced. The bags I have are deep so they can hold a good amount of vegetables, fruit and meat . So a bag only for vegetables a bag only for fruit a bag only for meat. The other 100 is spent online for the heavier items. Like the cans and water packs and other dry ingredients.
