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.
