Cooking Tips: Frugal shopping ideas

Make a list of all the foods you need. Do this in your kitchen so you can check what you have on hand.

Look for specials in the newspaper ads for the stores where you shop.

Look for coupons for foods you plan to buy. But remember, coupons save money only if you need the product. Also, check if other brands are on sale, too. They may cost even less than the one with a coupon.
