Grocery shopping with cash only helped me shave 25% off my monthly bill, but I'm not sticking to the strategy
every month. I'm quite a picky eater, so when I know I like a certain meal or list of ingredients, I get stubborn about buying them regardless of the price.
But because I had to save money and I was forcing myself to pay with cash only, I had to spend around 30 minutes a week setting a budget for my groceries. This number was based on how many meals I would eat at home so that I could spend only what I needed. I also noticed that my grocery store ran the best sales deals on Wednesday and Thursday, and knowing this allowed me to change my usual shopping day so that I could maximize my spending.
I would look up the prices of items and weekly sales offered on my grocery store's website and then determine which items I could afford to buy. From that list, I made a meal plan that allowed me to maximize the items I bought, oftentimes relying on frozen foods that I could use for multiple purposes . One of the most common parts of this cash-only shopping experience was that I often had to put items back on the shelf.
