Until scientists can fig- ure out how we can skip eat- ing altogether, the best bet for grocery shopping is to treat it as if you were preparing for battle -- the battle to keep as much money in your pocket as pos- sible. Keep this collection of tips handy for your next trip to the store: 1) Know your prices. Keep a written record of the regular per- unit prices of the items you buy most often. Many times, a "bargain" has nothing to do with a sale and more to do with a marketing ploy. If you're one of the growing number of consumers who shop at several stores to get their groceries, a price book provides "proof" when you come across a deal. 2) Shop with cash. Take only the amount of cash you have decided to spend on this trip. If you come across a fabulous bargain and don't have enough cash, you can return and stock up. 3) Carry a small calculator. Keep a running total of the items in your cart so you won't be embarrassed at the checkout. 4) Stick to the two or three stores in your area that offer the cheapest prices, and then rotate your shop- ping trips. Make sure that each week, you get their weekly fliers or check their websites for spe- cials. 5) Find a bakery outlet. These stores offer wonderful bargains if you can be highly dis- ciplined. 6) Visit a salvage store. This is the land of dented cans and mis- labels. 7) Buy in bulk as appropriate. If you can't use it before it goes bad, it's a bad deal, no matter how good the bargain is. 8) Don't overbuy your storage space. It takes a lot of room to store a year's worth of toilet tis- sue. 9) Be coupon-selec- members may mark down day-old items if they know you as a regular customer. 13) Look high and low. Expen- sive brand names are purposefully positioned at eye level. 14) Fancy packaging increases the price. Exam- ple: cereal in bags versus other brands in fancy boxes. 15) Check those eggs. Mary Hunt tive. Only use a coupon if you would have pur- chased the product anyway. 10) Consider generic and store brands. Many times, the generic product is identical to the brand- name one except for the lower price. If you try the store brand and don't like it, take it back. Stores know their survival rests on happy customers. Everyday Cheapskate And any food item that's packaged in a bunch. Don't just grab that bag of apples and toss it in your cart before inspecting what's in the bag. Skip the cracked eggs and the bruised apples. 16) Buy on sale. A national brand on sale is usually less expensive than a store brand at regular price. 17) Learn sale cycles. Study sale fliers until you recognize pre- dictable cycles. Buy enough when it's on sale to last until the next sale. Mary Hunt is the founder of 11) Shop solo. Being distracted can be quite costly. 12) Make friends.
