Article: 13 Ways to Save
Author: Unknown

The article "13 ways to save" talks about saving money while going food shopping. It talks about multiple things you can do to help you.
  • Look high and low
  • Eye end caps
  • Compare unit prices
  • Consider organics
  • Weigh the cost of convenience
  • Buy bagged produce
  • Check the receipt
  • Buy at the bakery
  • Look at the location
  • Watch for sneaky signs
  • Read flyers carefully
  • Go deep
  • Avoid checkout temptations
One point I do agree with is to watch for sneaky signs. A lot of stores now put out signs saying "10/ $10" when with out the sale, its a dollar anyway. Retailers are just trying to get you to buy more of the product.

I found this acrticle to be very helpful and I plan to use some of these tips next time I go shopping.
