🛒 Expert Tips for Saving on Groceries This Holiday Season 🎄💰

As Canadians face higher prices for holiday meals this year, experts share valuable tips on saving money on groceries without compromising on festive cheer.

1. Plan and Stick to a List:

• Meal Planning: Create a meal plan and a corresponding shopping list. Stick to this list to avoid unnecessary purchases.

• Online Shopping: Consider using grocery delivery apps like Instacart or Uber Eats. Online shopping can reduce the temptation of impulse buying compared to in-store shopping.

2. Leverage Coupons and Loyalty Programs:

• Use Flyers and Apps: Check out flyers and apps like Flipp to compare deals across different stores.

• Loyalty Programs: Sign up for loyalty programs and use money-saving apps to accumulate savings over time.

3. Choose the Right Credit Card:

• Maximize Rewards: Select credit cards that offer the best rewards or cashback for groceries, especially those tailored to specific grocery chains.

4. Shop Smartly:

• Avoid Hungry Shopping: Shopping when hungry, particularly after work, can lead to impulse buying. Try shopping in the morning or after a meal.

• Shop Without Kids: If possible, shop without kids to avoid the added pressure of buying unplanned items.

Cost of Traditional Holiday Dinner:

• Dalhousie University Agri-Food Analytics Lab Report: A traditional holiday dinner for four to six people costs an average of $104.85 this year.

• Price Increases: Turkey, potatoes, and carrots have seen significant price hikes.

Bottom Line: Smart shopping strategies like planning, using digital tools, and choosing the right payment methods can help manage holiday grocery expenses effectively. You can enjoy a festive holiday season without straining your wallet by being mindful of your shopping habits and taking advantage of available savings options. 🎅🛍️🎉
