Everyone’s Food. Your Money.
Your QuickQuid family found a creative way to save money on your grocery bill. Start a food club. Sometimes it “pays” to be creative with your most basic expense in life. Follow the advice on how to start your own club and save some money.
- Spread the word – Ask family, friends, and neighbors about joining. Start with a group of at least five families and add more if necessary.
- Compare Lists – Sit down and compare shopping lists. Everyone drinks milk, but everyone may not drink fat free milk. Also, make sure to track how much your items normally cost. That way you can find better savings in the future.
- Responsibility – The leader of the club should designate roles to all the club’s members. Such as shopping, delivery, and clean up. According to Mint.com, “Once the food is purchased, the group will have to decide where it will be stored … split up [and] delivered. If there are perishable items like fruit or meat, the group may decide pick up has to be right after the shopping spree.”
- Smile – Your food club should not be a chore. Arrange gatherings and share recipes. The more fun everyone has saving money and making friends, the longer your club (and money) will last.
Although food is the most basic necessity in life, it doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money.
