It's quite disappointing to know unexpected rise in food prices specially these days when one is striving to make both ends meet. Fortunately; one can make his bank account healthy by cutting daily expense incurred on grocery market. Well no one wants to make compromises when it comes to healthier food choices; but now without giving up your desire to eat healthy; you still can save money on supermarket bills through some money saving ideas.

Set a maximum limit beyond which you won't be permitting yourself to spend on weekly grocery and food items. From knowledge of amount spent in previous week or month plus deducting the amount on unnecessary items; create a weekly/monthly budget. Consider shopping for food coupons to gain benefit in this regard.
Make A Menu Plan: It's quite obvious to prepare a list of items before shopping for them. Not only this; prepare a weekly menu of what you are going to cook the coming week. This will not only cancel out any extra trip to the market but one would certainly not end up buying unnecessary things.
