Grocery Store Tip #1

The biggest tip I have for going grocery store shopping on a budget: take cash. I set aside an amount of money that I want to spend at the store for that week. Taking cash ensures that I do not go over my budget and impulsively buy items I don't need. I take a list, broken up into categories by isle's of the items I need. Taking a calculator can really help you to stay on course. Don't forget to include tax into your figures when calculating what is in your cart.

I know it's hard to see, but this is a picture of a real list that I will be taking to the store. Also, making a list ensures you get everything you need without having to use more gas (=more money) to run back to the store.
