How to save money? Tip #9: Think about shopping and buying in bulk

How to save money? Tip #9: Think about shopping and buying in bulk

Save money you spend on food by planning meals in advance and bulk-buying.

Always purchase generics when you can, because prepared food will always be much more expensive than the generic ingredients needed to make it. Preparing food in bulk and in advance also gives you the opportunity to plan ahead and be more accurate in your budget.

How to save money? Tip #7: Try to stop using credit cards
