And my absolute #1 way to save money at the grocery store is to PLAN OUR MEALS. When you walk into a grocery store with a plan, you eliminate impulse & duplicate purchases. Shopping the sale racks at your favorite store is always an option, but there are two ways to find even better deals on clothing.
