Miss Cheap's tips for additional grocery savings:
• Download the grocery apps for stores where you shop and then “clip” coupons there.
• Stockpile items that you use over and over.
• Buy in bulk.
• Store brands can offer significant savings.
Check dates on perishable items and choose the one with the latest expiration date to minimize food waste.
• Go for the sale items. Check the flyer at the store or online to see what is on sale. .
Know where the clearance sections are at your stores.
Always check your receipt to be sure the price you are paying is correct.
