How Meal Planning and One Free App Can Lower Your Grocery Bill
Grocery prices are high and many people feel stuck. While I cannot control grocery prices I can help you control how you shop.
Today I went to the grocery store to make lasagna and it is the perfect example of how meal planning saves money.
Meal planning is one of the easiest ways to lower your grocery bill
Even though I was cooking for only two people I made a large tray of lasagna. Why
Because one meal can turn into several meals.
By cooking once and eating multiple times you save money time and energy. You also avoid last minute takeout or impulse grocery runs that add up fast.
This is one of my favorite Smart Shopper strategies.
Plan ahead and cook with leftovers in mind.
One free grocery app that saves serious money
Another tool I use every week is a free app called FLIPP.
It is spelled F L I P P.
FLIPP gathers grocery store ads from multiple stores and puts them all in one place. Instead of flipping through paper ads you can simply search for an item.
For example type in beef and FLIPP will show you which stores have it on sale.
And yes beef is currently around eight dollars a pound which is shocking.
When prices are high knowing where to shop matters more than ever.
You cannot control prices but you can control your strategy
Rising grocery costs affect everyone. While we cannot control pricing we can control how prepared we are.
Meal planning helps you avoid waste.
Using FLIPP helps you avoid overpaying.
Together they make a big difference.
