3 Tips to Lowering Your Grocery Budget
1. Meal Plan – Meal plan by using what you already have on hand and what is on sale.
2. Stockpile Deals – Only purchase your “needs” and use the rest of your budget to “stockpile” good deals.
3. Slowly lower your budget – Don’t try to cut your grocery budget in half the first week. You will be nothing but frustrated. In fact, for the first few months while you are stockpiling, your budget will remain the same. Start slowly purchasing great deals to build up your stockpile. Between your meal plan and your stockpile, stick to your weekly budget number you set. As you are able to plan from your stockpile, your budget will slowly reduce over the next 2-3 months.
How long will it take to lower your grocery budget?
3-4 months – It will take a few months before you start to see a significant decrease in your spending each week.
Here’s why: You are now purchasing what you normally purchase, plus starting to stockpile. Some people actually see a slight increase in their spending the first few weeks – because you are in stockpile and needs mode. Your needs are more now than they will be in the future, because you have NO stockpile to pull from. As your stockpile slowly grows, your need to spend more will decrease.
