Hey, I am looking for ways to be on a tight budget at the grocery store and other things during the month. Any helpful ideas that work? I clip coupons but it doesnt work. I go to the store and if I see it and it sounds good--I get it.

Make a list of what you really need and stick to it. You have to learn a little will power and restraint. Look for store brands rather than the advertised ones. Most times they are made by the same company and packaged different so you're paying for advertising, which doesn't fill your stomach. If you can't control yourself from taking things not on your list, take someone with you to help you to behave.

Well you could try only getting what you really need like my mum is doing. She's decided that we're going to eat everything in the house before she buys more things except she's going to buy more bread and milk. You could try that if you're on that tight of a budget.

Don't go to the store hungry - you'll be more likely to buy more. Make a list and stick to your list, especially since you are apparently an impulse shopper. Read the ads, and plan your meals around what's on sale.

thats easy Buy the store brands they are slightly different in taste but they are superior in Value. For example Fruit loops goes for about 4.00-5.00 where i live but the store brand is 1.99 hope this helps
