One of the easiest ways to save money on groceries may seem obvious, but it works: Wait to shop until after you eat.
Research seems to indicate that if you go to the grocery store hungry, you re more likely to buy more. That s because your brain is telling you I want and so many people tend to purchase more items.
Hungrier shoppers may spend as much as 64% more on purchases, including non-food items, than those who go to the store on a full stomach, according to a report published in 2015 by a team of researchers from the University of Minnesota and the University of Southern California.
