Meal Planning
![]() |
{source} I wrote a whole post on How I Meal Plan that you can find HERE. It is one of the biggest and best ways to save money on groceries. It allows me to only buy the exact ingredients I need for the week and nothing more. Yes, I buy some extras, but for the most part, by limiting myself to only what I need, I save myself those frequent trips back to the store, thus saving money! |

Store Apps
There's literally an app for everything these days, and I am not complaining! Many grocery stores are now jumping on the app train, including Target's Cartwheel and Walmart's Savings Catcher. Let me break these down for you:
Cartwheel
Fill your unique barcode with any of the deals you see and like. Scan the barcode at the register. Save! It's so so simple! If you're in a hurry and don't have time to browse the deals, just scan your items before checkout and it will tell you if there is a deal available for that item. The more you save, the more spots you earn to add to your barcode.

Savings Catcher
Walmart is generally one of those one-stop shops and while it's really my least favorite place to get groceries, their Savings Catcher app makes it a little easier to bear. Simply purchase what you want at Walmart and scan the QR code at the bottom of your receipt onto the app.
It will cross match it with tons of other stores in your area to find comparable deals and if something you bought at Walmart is cheaper at say, Dollar Tree, they'll send you the difference in the form of a Walmart gift card! I have used this on several occasions when I've known an item was cheaper somewhere else, but didn't want to make a separate trip. It's a great way to earn money you didn't even know you were missing!
Paper Coupons

Target sometimes pops them out with your receipt and you can use those in conjunction with Manufacturer's coupons (and your Cartwheel app + RedCard for maximum savings!).
You can also utilize websites like Coupons.com to select and print off coupons right from the couch! I use this frequently for savings on things like diapers, wipes, dog food and other household items and toiletries.

Ibotta
So I only recently jumped on this little bandwagon and I am so glad that I did! This is a rebate app, but don't be intimidated! It's so easy to use and in about a month I earned $20 back on groceries I
already buy! Simply add the rebates you want to redeem, buy the products at the store, scan your item and your receipt into the app, and bingo! You've got a rebate waiting to be transferred to you via Paypal or a gift card of your choice! How easy is that?!
**Use this referral code to receive $10 just for signing up!:**

Sometimes it takes a little extra work, but it's so worth it to save big on groceries every month! I love finding deals and stacking savings whenever possible, even if it requires a few extra minutes of my time.
What do you do to save money on groceries? I hope these tips are helpful for you!

We don't have an Aldi but I do all the rest. I really love Ibotta. It has made a huge difference. I love that I can stack with other apps and paper coupons. (visiting from Tuesday Talk)
