Brand-new ways to save on groceries!

Want to keep more money in your wallet every time you shop for food? You can! Here are the latest ways supermarkets are helping you save more cash:

1 Seek out more private labels!

New research shows that sales of grocery store private labels (such as Walmart’s Sam’s Choice Italia and Target’s Archer Farms) are up 10% — and store owners are taking notice. That’s why they’re rolling out even more privatelabel products that offer high quality at a lower price!

Nab 38% more digital coupons!

If you’ve been putting off getting a loyalty card for your favorite supermarkets, here’s a great reason to sign up now: Food retailers have recently distributed 38% more “load-tocard” coupons—which are digital coupons you add to your loyalty card from the store’s website. Once you check out, they’re automatically redeemed!

3 Revisit the frozen foods aisle!

Frozen foods can be big money-savers, but if you’ve been skipping them because you worry they’re not as healthy as other foods in the store, here’s great news: After a long slump, the latest research shows that sales of frozen foods have started to rise, thanks to manufacturers who’ve listened to the concerns of shoppers and are providing healthier options that are lower in sodium and saturated fat and higher in nutritious ingredients! Now you can enjoy the convenience of frozen foods as well as their lower price!

4 Earn gas perks for shopping!

As a way to compete for your business, more and more supermarkets (including Albertsons, Giant Eagle, Giant Food, Hy-vee, Kroger, Safeway and Stop & Shop) are offering fuel perk programs that help you save cash when filling your car’s tank! The way it works: When you make grocery store purchases, you rack up points on a rewards card that can then be used to fill up at the gas station. Ask your supermarket manager about what kind of fuel savings your store offers and how you can take advantage of them!
