UNDATED -- When it comes to grocery shopping, more of us are putting prices under the microscope.
Shopper: "I look for the best deal."
Shopper: "I usually go for whatever they have that's their brand, cuz it's cheaper."
Whole Foods Market is taking the money saving trend to a new level. They're offering shoppers so-called value tours; showing them the best ways to save.
Start by checking store brand items, they're usually cheaper than national brands.
When buying produce, it tends to be cheaper to: buy in season, buy locally,compare boxed greens to bulk, and remember...you'll pay for the convenience of those precut fruits/veggies.
When buying meat, buy in bulk, or value sizes, and become friends with your freezer. Tougher cuts of meat generally cost less...you'll just have to cook them longer. And, buy the whole chicken...the butcher can cut it for you...in the long run, you'll save.
