Compare different brands by price-per-weight or price-per-unit. Just because boxes or jars are the same size, doesn't mean they cost the same.
Buy bouillon cubes. Cubes are much cheaper than canned broth.
Buy only groceries and food related items. A discount store is your best bet for nonfood items such as shampoo, toothpaste or deodorant.
Choose produce by weight. Use the scale to get the best value on fruits and vegetables. One head of lettuce may be larger but less dense than another.
Use reconstituted dry milk or diluted evaporated milk for cooking or baking.
Steer clear of packaged foods. Usually the deli counter or the bakery will have better buys.
Skip those pricey premade burger patties. Make your own from a family pack of meat. Freeze any extra patties for another night.
And finally, don't forget to read the small print on flyers. You'll be out of luck if you do your grocery shopping on Tuesday for a sale item that might be limited to "Friday only."
