Shop the periphery of the store, avoiding the aisles as much as possible. The aisles are set up to market "empty calorie" foods. The periphery is where the fresh foods are.
Grown container veggies and save some money on your grocery bill. You can even learn how to harvest seeds from some of the veggies you eat, potato eyes, carrot ends, etc.
Buy in bulk and learn to properly store and date your foods. Investing in a vacuum sealer is well worth the cost in the long run.
Never go shopping on an empty stomach.
Plan your meals so that you can make more than one or two out of one purchase. For example, left over roasted chicken can become chicken pot pie or chicken salad.
Clip coupons, and see if there's a coupon swap near you (or start one).
