WAYS TO $AVE ON GROCERIES

1. Cancel Cable & Utilize Free Streaming Services

   • If you still have cable, switch to an internet-based service or cut it entirely, saving you anywhere from $50-$100 a month.

     
     

   • Cancel any premium subscriptions (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) and opt for free streaming services like Pluto TV or Tubi, that can save you around $9-$20 per month. Do your research to see what's available, the options change periodically.

     
     

2. Make Your Lattes at Home

   • Skip the daily coffee shop run and brew your own at home. You’ll save around $3-$5 per coffee, adding up to about $90-$150 a month.

     
     

3. Limit Dining Out to Once a Week

   • Cut back on eating out by cooking at home and packing lunches. Saving $10-$20 per meal can easily free up $100+ per week.

     
     

4. Embrace Meal Prepping

   • Planning meals and preparing in bulk can significantly reduce your grocery bill. You can save around $50-$100 a week by avoiding last-minute takeout or expensive meal kits.

     
     

5. Unsubscribe from Unused Services

   • Review your bank and credit card statements to cancel any unused memberships, subscriptions, or services, like that gym membership you rarely use. This could save $20-$50 a month.

     
     

6. Carpool or Use Public Transport

   • Reduce your fuel costs by carpooling with friends or coworkers, or use public transport a few days a week. This could save you $40-$80 a month.

     
     

7. Sell Unused Items

   • Consider selling old clothes, gadgets, or home items you no longer use on platforms like eBay, Poshmark or even a resale retailer. You could easily make an extra $100-$200 during the savings challenge.

     
     

8. Switch to Generic Brands

   • Buy store brands or generic alternatives for groceries, household goods, and even medications. This could save you around $50-$75 a month.

     
     

9. Use Cash-Back and Rewards Apps

   Utilize apps for cash-back on groceries, gas, and everyday purchases. These apps could save you around $20-$50 a month.
