Tip Tuesday: Make a List

Going to make this Tip Tuesday a really easy one. Make a list before you go shopping. Sounds simple enough right? Can you imagine how much money you would save each week if you stuck to a shopping list? Of course this doesn't help if you stray from your list while shopping, but if you can stick to it you will not end up buying unnecessary items.

Also, do your research before going to the store. Gather your coupons and sale ads and head to the store with the best deals and that offers price matching. Walmart is good for price matching, even without a sale ad with you. If you make a list of items that are cheaper at other stores, it will save you a lot of time in line and both the cashier and others in line will be thankful.

Oh, and don't forget to eat before you go shopping. Grocery shopping on an empty stomach is setting yourself up for buying more than you would if you go right after a meal.

That's all for this week's Tip Tuesday. I hope it was helpful to all of you. Be sure to check back often or sign up to have my posts emailed if you want to stay caught up on my weekly Tip Tuesday and many other posts to come! Have a great night everyone! :)
