clipped from: www.pfadvice.com To save money on groceries, you can do lots of things besides clipping coupons (which I never do). Here are a few ideas to help you save money and add some spice to your routine.
Shop at ethnic markets: I find that a lot of really wonderful, exotic, and flavorful dishes can be recreated rather simply and cheaply at home. Visiting your local ethnic grocery stores can be a great way to indulge in a little bit of restaurant-style eating without actually having to spend money on a restaurant. Also, these stores tend to offer very affordable (and sometimes stunningly cheap) prices on things that you didn’t even realize your traditional grocery store was marking up, like tortillas and soy sauce. Finally, shopping at, for example, an Asian market when you’ve been raised on mac and cheese will give you the opportunity to try a wide variety of new foods and discover new things to enjoy.
