There are tons of tips floating around about how to save money in groceries. More than ever, this is the time you should really follow those tips.

#1 tip I like and follow: Don’t shop when you are hungry. You will buy lot of unnecessary food items when you are hungry. This is the reason, I try to avoid going to Costco in the evenings on the way home from work. I keep my Costco shopping only on Saturday mornings. If I go there in the weekday evenings, I tend to buy lot of breads, cup cakes and all kinds of food stuff that I don’t really use.

Another good tip is to write down the list before you go shopping. The list makes you organized and saves lot of time. KSL.com folks say that shopping entire grocery store would also save money. See the video below.

I came across another cool video on this topic by Daily Idea. It’s funny to watch. It’s lot better than watching CNBC these days.
