My husband has tricks that save us $300 or more a month on groceries, from signing up for memberships to stocking up on non-perishables

"Joe's typical grocery route looks like this: Stops at Aldi for 12 containers of Greek yogurt, runs to Meijer (a Midwest chain) to get protein powder because it's buy one, get one half off, then pulls into Costco for protein bars and peanut butter. He looks across ads, sales, and coupon programs to find the best prices on items our family regularly eats - and specialty items that are nice to have (but usually out of our budget)."

"My husband loves a good deal and is always looking for ways we can save money. In 2025, he has saved us about $300 a month with his wild habits. He tracks the prices of items we regularly purchase at five stores and optimizes cash back from credit cards. "Pears were on sale today, Mom! And we got your favorite protein bars!" my daughter exclaimed one morning after grocery shopping with her dad."

Husband spends significant time monitoring prices and promotions at five different stores, comparing ads, sales, and coupon programs to find the best prices on regularly purchased and specialty items. He follows known brand preferences for family favorites and waits for price drops, then stocks up on items like string cheese, fish sticks, yogurt, protein powder, protein bars, peanut butter, bacon, and ground beef. He purchased a second fridge and uses extra freezer space to store bulk purchases. He researches and selects credit cards that offer grocery cash back and aligns purchases to maximize rewards. Combined strategies save the family about $300 per month.
