(#8) Leave the Little Guys at Home
We know you love your kids, but trust us when we say that leaving them at home when you grocery shop is a good way to ensure that that stays true. Let's face it, grocery shopping can be boring even for grown ups. Give yourself the advantage of being able to take your time and concentrate on your list by leaving the little ones at home. -
(#10) The Mist Might Be Misleading You
You know those little misters that periodically spray the fruits and vegetables? Although they make the products look really pretty, they can also cause them to be heavier and to rot faster. Make sure you give that lettuce a good shake before putting it in the bag. -
(#11) Don't Be Shy About Stocking up on Onions
Next time you see onions on sale at the store, go crazy. Grab yourself a pair of cheap pantyhose to store them in and you'll be able to keep your onions edible for up to eight months. Just make sure to tie a knot between each one and then hang it in your pantry. -
(#16) Never Underestimate the 99 Cent Store
If you're willing to invest the time, taking a trip to the 99 cent store can actually save some you cash. Though there are certain items (like meat) you'll want to consult your common sense about whether or not to cut corners on, some of these places have great deals on things like produce and condiments. -
(#17) There's a Reason for the Brown Bags Fresh Bread Is Often Sold In
Ironically, fresh bread is often sold to customers in an open paper bag in order to make sure it won't stay fresh for long. The longer your bread is exposed to fresh air, the faster it goes stale, presenting you with the need to buy a whole knew loaf. Combat this sneakiness by putting it in an air tight bag as soon as you can. -

(#21) Make Sure You Read Sale Signs Carefully
If you're going to buy an item on the advice of a sign announcing its sale price, make sure you read carefully! Many sales only apply to one to a particular brand or under certain circumstances. So before you commit to buying a discount item, make sure you don't have to buy five of them to enjoy the sale. -
(#25) BYOM - Bring Your Own Music
Ever notice how grocery stores play super slow music? It's no accident. The average supermarket plays tunes that are much slower than the average heartbeat. The effect is meant to slow you down so that you'll linger, which studies show causes the average person to buy 29% more at the store. Bring your own headphones, crank some upbeat hip-hop, and fly through the aisles like a crackhead on a treadmill. -
(#27) Know That Your Kid's Love of Cereal Is No Accident
Considering that many cereal covers feature cartoons, friendly characters, and bright colors, we'll give you one guess as to who they are marketed to. That's right, your kids! This is another reason why it may be best to leave the tykes at home when you shop. -
(#29) Buy a Water Filter, Not Bottled Water
Though we aren't suggesting you just white knuckle it if your faucet water tastes like it came directly out from under the Santa Monica pier, bottled water can be a real money waster. Don't hesitate to splurge on a water filter and reusable water bottle if it'd be cheaper in the long run. -
(#30) Don't Be Afraid to Coupon Clip
Though it may seem a little old school, don't be afraid to clip a few coupons every now and then. If you overwhelm easily at the sight of the Sunday coupon ads, just pick out the flyer for the store you're mostly likely to shop at and give it a skim. These days coupons can even be found online. -
(#32) Make Your Final Cuts Before You Get to the Cash Register
Before you head up to the cash register, find your own private little corner of the chips aisle and do a final cut, weeding out items you don't really need. Not only is it less embarrassing to ditch items you can live without in private, some stores have actually narrowed their checkout aisles in order to discourage it.
