The average American family spends more than $600 a month on groceries! And if you shop with kids, without a list, or you’re an impulse buyer–that total can go way up! If you’re trying to cut expenses in the new year, try one of the grocery pickup services that stores offer (like Fred Meyer’s ‘Clicklist’). I know, it costs a little.  And normally I wouldn’t recommended spending to save, but a ton of financial gurus say you you can actually save money this way! Shopping as a single person, I don’t tend to make big shopping trips that would make this worth it.  But if you have a family? Hello savings! Picking up your groceries gets rid of any temptation you would’ve had in the store, prevents kids from throwing items in a cart, and since you can make the list from home, you won’t buy things you already have!
