(💸38/40) I Saved $3k By Breaking This One Grocery Shopping Rule (+ 4 Game-Changing Food Budget Hacks)


Listen Later

I never thought changing ONE simple shopping habit could save us thousands...

But after running an experiment with our family of 5, our grocery bill hit its lowest point in 2 years. And the crazy part? We didn't have to clip a single coupon or sacrifice our healthy eating habits.

In this episode, we break down the exact strategy that led to this breakthrough, plus 4 other game-changing tactics that could save your family $700-$1,200 every single month on groceries.

 You'll discover:

  1. The "$7 Lemon Strategy" that exposed how we were overpaying by 500% on certain items

  2. The Costco Paradox: How spending more per trip actually saves thousands per year

  3. Our controversial take on grocery delivery services (and how we use them to SAVE money)

  4. The biblical principle behind smart grocery shopping that most people miss

  5. Why managing your grocery budget could be more spiritually significant than you think
