Dayton, OH, October 31, 2008 --(PR.com)-- With just a few simple strategies and 20 minutes a week, the average American family could save over $100 a month on their grocery bill. The author of $5 Dinners.com shares three was to purchase healthy products, while still saving money.

1. The healthiest foods in the grocery store can be found on the perimeter of the store. Shopping “on the edge” does not have to drain the bank. Different cuts of meats will go on sale every 8-12 weeks. Buy 6 packages of boneless skinless chicken breasts when they are on sale and store them in your freezer for future meals. This keeps one from buying the same package of chicken at more than twice the cost a week or two later. Purchase produce when it’s on sale and freeze it if it can’t be used before it goes bad. These two tips will help save money on healthy foods “from the edge”.

2. Purchase household cleaning supplies and toiletry items at their lowest price by matching sale prices with coupons. Buy more than one of these items when its at its rock bottom price and create a “stockpile” of low cost supplies. By purchasing other products at their rock bottom prices, there will be more money in the bank for healthy and wholesome foods.

3. Coupon strategies: Clip, clip, clip from the newspaper. Print, print, print from sites like couponloop.com and hotcouponworld.com. Load “e-coupons” onto your store’s rewards card at sites like Shortcuts.com, Cellfire.com, and Upromise.com.
