In terms of saving money, groceries are a big part of our budgets and one of the most important and easy ways to save money.  Some further ideas include:

• Shop at lower-priced food stores. Convenience stores often charge the highest price.
• Shop with a list, take advantage of sales, and purchase basic ingredients, rather than pre-packaged components or ready-made items.
• Compare price-per-ounce or other unit prices on shelf labels. Stock up on those items with low per-unit costs.

I remember reading a save money book a couple of years ago, in which the author shows how much it costs over time to get a Starbuck's coffee and muffin everyday.  It was incredible to see what an easy way to save money it is, just to make coffee at home.  I am talking thousands of dollars.  $3.50 per day for 200 days is $700 per year. Do that for 20 years and you have spent $14,000.   Or over $27,000 if you include simple 6% interest and $41,000 at 10%. Just add up some of these easy ways to save money, like making the coffee at home, and you can put a lot of cash in your account!
