—FOR LESS! Go late to save big on convenience foods

“For ready-made meals from Whole Foods Market or specialty markets, a good tip is to go in about an hour before they close. That’s when they tend to reduce prices on things they might have to throw away, like soups or prepared salads. As the workers are closing up, ask if there are any reductions on items. They’re more than happy to sell something marked down to half price or throw in a few freebies rather than throw it out.”
