20 Ways I Save Money on Groceries

My parents have owned a grocery store in Paraguay for over 40 years. For as long as I can remember I’ve spent most of my free time sweeping and mopping cleaning rotten fruit from their crates and restocking the shelves. Although I’ve rolled my eyes and moved like molasses as I do my chores going to a grocery store feels like home to me: the space the smells the cans and boxes neatly stacked on the shelves. It’s been over twenty years since I left Paraguay but I still love going to the grocery store. (When I was past my due date I made six trips to and from my local Trader Joe’s to induce labor. My son was born a few hours after my last visit.) And now that I’m grocery shopping for a family of five I’m in the store a lot and our grocery bill is high.
To save money I buy seasonal produce meat in bulk and on sale and store brand everything. But my favorite trick for lowering my grocery bill comes from something I learned as a grocer’s daughter: I grab produce from the back of the aisle. It’s the best way to reduce food waste and save money.
