In today's economy saving money is just as important as making money . We have put together some tips to help you cut your grocery bill by using some clever shopping tactics. It is reported by some experts that there are certain foods you shouldn't have to buy again, with a little bit of effort you can make it yourself and save yourself some money.

Don't buy gourmet - Frozen Gourmet Vegetables cost you more because of the added flavors. You can simply buy the cheaper basic frozen vegetables and add your own butter and lemon when you warm them up. This is a huge saving!

Trail Mix - when you break it down you are paying about $10 a pound for this snack. You can instead buy your own ingredients; buy your own peanuts, sunflower seeds, raisins, and chocolate candy. Then mix all these together and it will easily keep for 3 weeks in a tight plastic container.

Preformed meat patties - it is much cheaper to buy fresh beef and make the patties yourself. Also it is much healthier, as much of the ecoli recalls involved meat patties, not the actual fresh beef.

Bottled Water - Instead of buying bottled water every week, simply use a water bottle that you can fill up at home and take with you. You might already have a water distiller at home, so simply fill the bottle with the filtered water.

Also a great way to cut back on spending is to never shop when you're hungry, as you will most likely spend more on food that you don't really need. You might also be interested in making extra income to help pay your bills, Click Here to Find Out More...
