Before you go grocery shopping, plan your meals for the week. This will help you buy only the ingredients you need and avoid impulse purchases.

Buying in bulk can often save you money, especially on non-perishable items like rice, pasta, and canned goods.
Shop Sales
Keep an eye out for sales and discounts, and buy items when they’re on sale. You can also try shopping at discount stores for even lower prices.
