Here’s a quick recap of the tips I shared for saving money on groceries:

1. Be sure to join your store’s loyalty program.

2. Build your menu/shopping list around what’s on sale, starting with the meats since they’re usually the most expensive.

3. Find coupons to match those items and also for other items on your list. Check Coupons.com or the Coupons.com app to find grocery coupons.

4. If something is out of stock, ask for a raincheck so that when the item is back in stock the store will honor the sale price.
