Grocery shopping doesn't have to break the bank when you use the right strategies. Here are three quick tips for reducing food expenses:

  • Buy store brands instead of name brands whenever possible.
  • Always make sure to compare unit prices, not just sticker prices.
  • Join your store's loyalty program so you don’t miss out on member discounts.

Even though something like choosing coupons in your grocery store app can feel like an annoying task, the savings can really add up.

Bottom line

You may have some high-priced items on your list of things you want or need to buy, but that doesn't mean you can't save a few bucks on everything from groceries to electronics.

So check out BJ's to see if it can get you a deal on expensive items or if you're trying to save money on essentials like laundry detergent, which might be pricey but could have a higher price tag elsewhere.
