1. Buy produce in season - it's cheaper to find items during their normal growing season than it is off season. You likely won't find a really good price for strawberries in January, but will often find them on sale in June and early July. You are always going to pay more during the winter, but when you pay less at other times of year, it definitely helps.
2. Meal plan based on what is on sale that week. Take a look at the local flyers to see which stores are having great sales and go from there. reebee* is great for this, because you can find them all online in one location (better for the environment, and you can browse anywhere/anytime).
3. Price match. Find a local grocery store that price matches, and then you only have one stop to make, but can still take advantage of the best prices for the week.
4. Clip coupons. They are not always easy to find, but when you see them, save them and use them on your shopping trips. Using a coupon in conjunction with price matching can really make a big impact on your bill as well.
By following these tips, I have sometimes saved close to $100 on my grocery orders in the past. It can take a little bit of prep work to go through and find the best deals, but when you see the savings on your shopping trips each week, it is definitely worth it.
