Pricier than Ever!

Enjoy a homemade Pizza with milkshake: Pricier than ever!

If your family monthly budget is getting tighter than before, you are not alone. According to recent study (read it) , the price of dairy products, beef, and numerous grocery items reach record high this year. The rise of fuel price certainly started the chain reaction. But drought, cost of operations, and higher demand are also factors that boost this price rise. So what can we do? Rush to get bigger freezer? Maybe not a wise decision if you aim at saving money. Before you sell your car and buy that new freezer, consider other options.

This is what Grocery Surfers would do.
  • Weed out: Instead of limiting the budget or changing the diet, start with decluttering the shopping list. Check your pantry room in GrocerySurf program for the right amount of food your family needs and the adequate frequency of your purchase.
  • Target: List the items with brand names you cannot live without as a target to collect coupons or watch for sales. You can print GrocerySurf pantry list as a reference. (To know more...)
  • Balance: Use the automatic reminder to make shopping list so the pantry stock is always enough but never too much.

GrocerySurf is a free online program that organizes the grocery shopping and pantry stock. Rather than having an extreme makeover in your lifestyle, it enables you to reach the goal of savings with less effort and down payment. The ultimate goal of using this program is not only to save money and time but also to do it with no compromise in lifestyle.
