Howdy,

Have you read the news claiming that organic food is better for you? Have you been told to eat as “natural” as possible?

If you’re looking to eat healthy these money-saving tips will help you slash your grocery bill and still eat burn the fat friendly.

Here are three of the top twenty best strategies for healthy shopping on a budget from Inner Circle contributor Marc David…

TIP 1. TAKE A LIST AND FOLLOW IT.
———————————-

Never shop without a list. This is probably the most important tip out of my top 20 tips.

A list will “help you avoid impulse purchases of foods you don’t need.” Dieticians estimate that 40 percent of supermarket purchases are made on impulse. According to best selling food author and NYU professor Marion Nestle, 70 percent of shoppers bring lists into the supermarket, but only about 10 percent stick
to them.

Developing a standard list of foods to replenish weekly will save you money by avoiding purchasing an excess of food that might spoil and go to waste. It will also help you avoid impulse purchases of
foods you didn’t need.

By the way, planning your shopping can also help you avoid unnecessary trips to the store, which saves you time as well as gas money!

TIP 2. CLIP COUPONS AND WATCH FOR SALES.
—————————————–

You can save a pretty penny if you read the paper, watch for sales and clip some of those ads. A coupon here and a coupon there can add up to thousands of dollars in savings over the course of a year.

If you want to know just how much savings is possible, look up the story about “The Coupon Queen.” She leaves the store with 3 baskets full of groceries for $50.00!

Even if you don’t go that far, if you spend just 20 minutes a week searching for coupons, you could save 20% off your grocery bill!

TIP 3. FREE GROCERY STORE COUPON SITES
—————————————

(These are some of the most popular coupon sites I’ve found. Unlike other frustrating sites that ask for an e-mail address and then spam you to death, these websites give you printable coupons with great
deals, without all the excessive email.

Suggestion: use a secondary email address to keep your main email safe, just in case.)

• Coupons.com Enter your zip code and find printable coupons for your area.

• CoolSavings.com Offering food coupons for online and brick & mortar shopping.
