PLAN YOUR SHOPPING

BUY PRODUCE WHEN IT IS ITS SEASON

If you buy produce when it’s out of its natural growing season, chances are you’ll not only get an inferior product, but you’ll pay more for it, too.

COLLECT A SPARE CHANGE

Keep a jar to collect loose change. Don’t forget to check old junk drawers and the couch for coins, too. Every few months you can dump the change in your supermarket’s Coinstar machine to use towards groceries.

BE YOUR OWN BARISTA
