Grocery saving tip # 2: Use your grocery receipt

Except checking for the accuracy and amount of savings, you can also use receipt to keep track of fresh produce.

At checkout, separate the grocery items into groups - ex. meat, non-perishable goods, dairy, and vegetable/fruit. It can be in any order of your choice as long as it is in groups. Use the markers to keep track of fresh produce as follows:
Red dot - use within 3 days
Yellow dot - 3 to 7 days
Green dot - after 7 days


You can use a magnet and display the receipt on the refrigerator. Cross out the item after each use. This way, there is no surprising discovery of rotted treasure in the kitchen.
