How to save on groceries

Each of these store openings means that more people than ever will get the chance to shop at grocery stores or warehouse clubs with a dedicated fan base. But before you head to the store and pick up a shopping cart, it's important to make sure you won't bust your budget.

The good news is, you can research top deals at these popular stores to find items worth purchasing. You can also track prices on items you buy often to see which stores have the best deals, and can make sure you're using a credit card that maximizes your rewards for grocery store purchases. By taking these steps, and choosing your store wisely, you can get the most bang for your buck.
