How to cut your grocery bill without eating less

Here are the money-saving tips from our Facebook post, all in one place.
- Plan meals from the weekly sales ad. Check what's on sale first, then build your week's meals around it instead of the other way around.
- Try store-brand swaps. Staples like flour, canned vegetables, rice and frozen produce are often nearly identical to name brands and cost noticeably less.
- Shop your pantry before you write the list. Use up what you already have so nothing goes to waste and you don't buy doubles.
- Compare the unit price. The small "price per ounce" on the shelf tag shows which size is really the better deal.
