3. Buy only what you need
One of the best ways to save money on food is to buy only what you need. You can do this by planning your meals ahead of time and being realistic about what you can use. A bargain price on bulk food isn’t a bargain if half of it spoils before you can eat it. Check your refrigerator before you head to the supermarket to make sure you’re not buying things you already have. Remember to move older food to the front of the refrigerator so it won’t be overlooked.
