It’s easy to overspend at the grocery store, but don’t let an impulse buy ruin your budget! Here’s some tips and tricks to help you get what you need–and only what you need!

Only shop while on a full stomach. This way, you won’t buy to satisfy your lingering hunger pangs

Make sure you know exactly what you have in the house before you head to the store.

Product discounts always look tempting – but you aren’t saving anything if the item is one you never use.

Only shop with a detailed list in hand – and stick to it! You’ll spend much less that way.

Keep your cart or basket as small as possible. You’ll be less tempted to throw another impulse purchase inside.

Determine how much you want to spend before you set out. This way, you’ll be motivated to keep your costs down.

Before you head out, check your circulars, or coupon apps like Couponcabin and Flipp, for in-store discounts on regular items.

Cooking with seasonal produce is a lot cheaper than buying whatever suits your mood.
