5 new tricks to save on groceries

Milk 139% Consider percentages to spend less 

"In a recent store comparison I did of whole milk, the prices were high across the board, but Walmart's Great Value cost the least at $4.86 per gallon (Aldi was $5.29!). To save even more, I opt for 2% milk, which is a few cents cheaper per gallon. Another option? Powdered milk! Great Value powdered milk (the equivalent of 2 gallons of the liquid) costs $8.43-that's $4.21 a gallon!" -Joanie Demer, cofounder of The KrazyCoupon Lady.com

Butter 138.5% Head to this store to pay 36% less
