00:00Inflation may have you in penny-pinching mode, but it doesn't have to be an uphill battle.
00:08As reported by the penny hoarder, if you're not doing these things already, you're leaving money
00:12on the table. First, find out exactly which day your local grocery store marks down items. This
00:19will vary by store, but usually there's a specific day of the week where items that are close to
00:24expiring are discounted. Similarly, if you're in a major U.S. city, see if the app Too Good To Go
00:31operates in your area. The sustainability-minded app has partnered with various businesses across
00:36the U.S. to reduce food waste by selling grab bags of unsold perishables and leftovers that would
00:42normally be thrown away at a third of their normal cost. Second, if you're using a meal kit or grocery
00:49delivery service, you really end up paying a premium for their convenience. Instead, switch
00:54to curbside pickup at your nearest grocery store. You still have to leave the house, but it's faster
01:00than a full grocery run, and a smart way to stick to your grocery list, since you won't be tempted
01:06to load up your cart in the store. But the next time you are in the grocery store, here's a simple
01:11rule to follow. Check the top and bottom shelves of the aisle for the best deal. Grocery stores know
01:17most people only look in the middle, so no surprise, that's where they put the more expensive items.
