One major benefit to staying in fully furnished Shreveport LA rentals is that you’ll have access to a kitchen area for preparing homemade meals. Not only does this mean that you can make healthier food throughout the week, but it also means that you can save some serious cash. That’s because food purchased in bulk or at the grocery store can be less expensive than eating regularly at fast food or sit-down restaurants. However, as costs continue to rise on a variety of things, it’s still important to look for some ways to save any additional money whenever possible. In this post, we’ll look at some ways you may be able to save on your next grocery bill.

- Make a shopping list. It’s a simple step that will help to keep you on track and prevent from purchasing items you may already have in the fridge or really don’t “need.”
- Keep your eye out for sales and purchase those items if they are on your list. Stores like Albertsons, Super 1 Foods and Kroger have weekly ads posted on their website.
- If you’d prefer to use a rewards or cash-back program instead, try something like iBotta or Rakuten for discounts on the food items you’ll need.
- A surprising tip you may not have considered…buy frozen veggies and fruit when possible! Yes, savings come in the frozen food aisle. You’ll reap the health benefits of eating your vitamins and, at the same time, your pocketbook will thank you.
- Don’t buy name brand items. Yep, it goes without saying that when you buy a name brand cereal, you’re paying for the name recognition that comes with it. Look lower down on the shelf and try the off-brand to see if you like it. Sometimes you will, sometimes you won’t…but it’s worth a try!
- Set a shopping budget and track your purchases as you make them. If you’re really serious about savings, it helps to know how much you spend as you go. A simple smartphone app like Spending Tracker will get you up and going quickly.
