VIDEO: Smart Strategies to Save at the Supermarket
The skyrocketing cost of groceries is taking a big bite out of everyone’s budget these days, but it is especially hard on retirees living off a fixed income. Fortunately, there are ways Social Security recipients can help stretch their dollar at the supermarket.
A consumer reporter for KAAL-TV in Rochester, Minnesota, shared some smart strategies on how to save money on groceries. Top on her list was meal planning, so you know exactly what you need and don’t overbuy. Other tips include replacing meat proteins with lower-cost beans and lentils, buying store brand products, checking unit prices, and stocking up on sale items and freezing them for future use.
The Seniors Trust is committed to improving the financial well-being of America’s retirees through passage of The Social Security Expansion Act. It will give retirees an immediate benefits increase of about $65 a month, a fair annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), increased minimum benefits, and ensure the long-term solvency of the Social Security program.
