What is your way to save money on groceries?

[You]

One of the best ways I save money on groceries is by planning meals and making a shopping list before going to the store. This prevents me from impulse buying unnecessary items. I also try to buy non-perishable items in bulk when they're on sale. Another big money-saver is opting for store brands over name brands for basic items like rice, pasta, and canned goods. Lastly, I've found that shopping the perimeter of the grocery store where the fresh produce, meat, and dairy are located helps avoid the tempting, expensive middle aisles.

Shopping list is the best way and know where to buy them in cheaper prices. This is what I learned from my mother.

I buy in bulk, you would get discounts more when you buy in bulk as you would be buying in wholesale price

I will buy just what is needed and see that all what is bought is utilised.

I always look for good deals. I buy in bulk when there are good deals. The stores usually offer discounts for buying more than one item. If not, I just buy the quantity I need.

I just buy from the open market. We are free to negotiate the prices in the open market.

Since I started intermittent fasting, I have been able to save more since I don't eat for 48 hours. So am guessing this can also be considered as a way to save.

I always look for cheaper option and unbranded products. I also shop from the same store so that I can get cash backs and loyalty points.

I think the best way to save money on groceries is just to buy in bulk.

I often buy items in bulk, especially when I can afford to do so and thereby save money and spare myself from many trips to the grocery store. I also tend to go for generic brands.
