Saving Money at the Grocery Store
1. Try to buy products that are on sale. All of the grocery stores
have weekly specials. If those items are things you need, stock up on them for future weeks.
2. Always compare prices. You can look at the unit price to see
which product is the best deal.
3. Use coupons. Some stores double coupons up to $.50. If you
can use a coupon on a sale item, that’s even better. Make sure the coupon hasn’t expired. Also, make sure there aren’t any special requirements for the coupon to be valid. (For example, some coupons are only good for a certain size or they may say $.50 off 2 or more products.
4. Here are some useful phrases for the grocery store:
Excuse me, I’m looking for toilet paper. Can you tell me which
aisle it is on?
Excuse me, do you have any frozen shrimp?
Can you put my milk in a plastic bag, please?
I think I was charged twice for the bread. Can you please check
the receipt for me?
Can you tell me where to find the paper towels that are on sale?
If the bagger asks you if you need help getting your groceries in the car, you can say:
No, thank you. I can get it. OR Yes, please, that would be great!
