How often do you go to the supermarket? When you go, do you always stick to your list or do you buy whatever looks good? Studies show that almost half of shoppers go to the store three to four times per week and purchase about 54% more than they originally planned.[1] In order to save more money and time, some savvy shoppers choose to go to the store only once per month. To some this may seem extreme, but all it takes is careful planning, efficient shopping, and some storage space. Why make four or more trips per month when you can make just one? If you plan ahead to make just one trip a month, your savings will shock you at the end of the year.
