Thanksgiving Shopping Tips {Save Money!!}

As you head out to the store this year keep these shopping tips in mind.

My favorite tip is to shop local at a grocery store you know in and out. For me that’s Smart & Final.

Our Smart & Final is so close and always has great deals for the holidays. While other grocery stores seem to be skyrocketing with prices I’m happy to say I’ve still been able to find great deals at Smart & Final.

It is just like a warehouse store so you can stock up on bulk foods while still finding perishables.

Since we are so busy I love having the Smart & Final app for coupons, deals, and the option to order online.

Before you shop:

• Plan your Thanksgiving menu and/or dishes
• Make a list
• Check for deals and coupons
• Order things you forget in the Smart & Final app to be delivered to your home (I love shopping in store but always forget something!)
