Save Money on Groceries: Buy Non-Food Products Elsewhere

Published by jenfoote at 11:07 pm under Retail Stores Edit This

When you go shopping, do you do all of your shopping at your grocery store? Although this is convenient, you may be spending more money than you need to. Most of the time, you can save more money by buying your non-food products at stores other than grocery stores.

As for non-food products, they include a lot of items. Health and beauty products, cleaning products, toys, movies, clothes, and kitchen supplies are all typically cheaper at department stores, like Wal-Mart.

For example, my local grocery store tends to price shampoo a $1 or more higher than our local Wal-Mart. This extra $1 can add up over time.

It is also important to note that many stores, like Wal-Mart accept coupons, allowing you to save even more money.

    Good advice! I’ve been doing it for years. I get my groceries from Whole Foods and Trader Joes, then get cleaning products and other essentials from Target

    I should start doing that. I have occasionally seen it the other way around, that certain food items on sale are cheaper at Target or Wal-Mart than the grocery store. However, because I have to go to the grocery store anyway, I usually don’t end up buying food at those stores.
