How to Spread Out Grocery Store Trips to Save Time and Money

May 4, 2020

When it’s not financially possible for you to buy large amounts of food at a time, here’s how you can minimize your visits to the supermarket.  I offered some tips to Eating Well:

Team up with another family and combine your purchasing power. “This will allow you to make bulk purchases that you can split,” says Feller. Same goes for saving on one-off purchases—if you only need one teaspoon of tomato paste or they need a pinch of red pepper flakes, swap these ingredients with each other instead of buying an entire can or bottle you know you’ll barely use. Just make sure to leave groceries on their doorstep (FYI- there’s no evidence to suggest that coronavirus can be transmitted through food or food packaging, as long as you practice proper social distancing and hygiene practices).
