Super Saving Tip of the Week:
If money is getting tight during the pandemic, you may be looking more closely at saving on groceries, even more than ever before. So you might want to ask the question, “Is the food at your local dollar store safe?”
The answer to that is yes, the food and groceries you find at the dollar store are safe. But even though most shopping at the dollar store can save you some cash, not everything at the dollar store is worth buying.
Even if it only costs $1, some food items are actually overpriced compared to your local supermarket. That’s especially true when you don’t know which foods are worth the dollar and which you should buy somewhere else.
Here’s a short category list of what not to buy and it includes the following items: meats, condiments, cereals, gum, chips, canned goods, milk, cheeses, bottled soda, and spices.
All of these items are regularly promoted at less than a dollar at your supermarket. Before you make any purchase, always look at the unit costs and see what you are getting for your buck. Remember, a dollar sounds like a deal but isn’t always what is turns out to be. Saving a few of them right now is very important to millions of us who need help to get through this awful period.
