My friend Tara wrote a post about “Saving Money on Groceries when you have Dietary Restrictions, and I realized I have never written a post on that myself! My sister has one and my daughter has one, so this is a post I should have already written!
Now you all know what my suggestion is to anyone who wants to be frugal is to start clipping and printing coupons to save on your groceries! The same suggestion goes to anyone who has said they want to be frugal with their diet restrictions, but find it hard to save on their groceries. Yes I know you are thinking “but that’s crazy some of these products are expensive”………..just read on and you’ll see how to start saving, where you can save and what you can save on. You can also read my articles on Never Pay Retail
1). Learn how to work the deals at the drug stores for body wash, deodorant, make up, paper products, toothpaste, etc! Please read CVS 101 If you spend over $40 a month on these products, using coupons and learning how to work the CVS and other drug store deals will help you bring that down to about $15 or less! This will free up $30 or more to put towards your specific grocery needs.
2) Walmart and Target are 2 inexpensive stores compared to Winn Dixie. So I shop Walmart for all my deals. (Target won’t open for another week!) Both stores price match store sales! Using a coupon at Walmart will sometimes get an item for nearly free or totally free + an overage! Using coupons at Target can do the same thing. If you have a manufacturer coupon + there is a Target coupon, you can stack those coupons and snag the item for next to nothing!
3) If you have a specific company you like, write to them and tell them how much you like their product. Most companies do respond by sending coupons. You can also write and ask if the company has a newsletter you can sign up for so you can receive coupons their coupons.
4) Shop Amazon!
Did you know if you have dietary restrictions, you can purchase some food on Amazon! I personally find it amazing how much they actually have that you probably won’t find in any store! Vegan Foods, Diabetic Foods, Gluten FREE foods , Diet Foods, I’m considering the Vegan Black Bean with Lime soup! That just sounds so good! YUM!
To check the best value on Amazon, take the quantity and divide by the price to get the single price and compare it to the price in the store. Amazon does provide free shipping on some items if you spend $25 or more!
2 ways you may be able to get these items free is via Swagbucks and/or Crowdtap!
Swagbucks is a search engine (like google and yahoo) that pays you bucks for searching and you cash in those bucks for $5 Amazon gift card or other payments.
Crowdtap is Crowdtap is a website that will reward you for giving input on various brands and products
