I love saving money while still feeding my family healthy, delicious meals. One of my favorite tricks is using Food Lion’s Shop and Earn program. Every month, I activate new offers like “Spend $30 on canned goods and earn $5.” I always check out the deals available in the app to see what’s worth grabbing that month.

To maximize my savings, I combine Shop and Earn with their MVP card, which gives me even better discounts, and then I add in paper or digital coupons to stack those savings. It’s a game-changer! Whether I’m picking up everyday essentials or grabbing extra items for the week, it always feels great to get those extra discounts.

Another trick I use is meal planning with ChatGPT. I’ll ask, “Help me meal plan for a week for a family of 3 with a $75 budget at Food Lion using as many of the same ingredients as possible,” and voilà! I get a week’s worth of meal ideas without overspending or wasting food.

Another favorite way to save is to use Coupon Codes when shopping online. Whether you're looking to save on groceries, household items, essentials like clothes and shoes for the family, or a little treat for yourself, coupon codes can truly save you money!

It’s all about being smart with the little things. Saving a few dollars here and there really adds up, and it still allows me to make tasty meals for my family. Nothing wrong with a little extra savings!

Hope this helps you get the most out of your grocery trips! 

Happy saving!
