WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Shop for Food and Not Get Squeezed by High Prices · 20 Jan 2022 podcast

You know, if it's a signature dish, for example, you know, that might affect foot traffic. matched

So the thing that's paramount is to not just make a list, but to know what you're shopping for. matched

A lot of times, and I do this too, I'm very guilty of it. matched

I don't make a plan. matched

And so, you know, we end up spending way more than we need or we have, you know, food that goes bad. matched

Like I have a bundle of asparagus that's just kind of wilting in my fridge right now because I just... matched

forgot it was in there and on other days that I planned to cook it, I didn't get around to it. matched

So it's not just about avoiding impulse buying, but it's also about shopping for things that can be used in different dishes, not buying extra items that will eventually go to waste. matched

And if there are some items that are affected by inflation, matched

If you meal plan appropriately, you can plan for those products to be used in multiple dishes. matched

So there's more versatility with those ingredients and you're spreading the inflation a little further. matched

Yeah, so the experts I spoke to said to check the store's websites. matched

Now you can go online to find a lot of those store sales. matched

So there are several apps out there to help people track store sales. matched

So one of the apps that my expert sort of suggested is called Flip, F-L-I-P-P, which aggregates the deals from nearby stores and just places them all in one app. matched

So that's an example of something you can check online. matched

before your trip because you don't want to get to the grocery store and have no idea of like, you know, how to take advantage of the sales there. matched

So one of my sources, Beth Monsell, she is the creator of the food blog Budget Bites. matched

And she gave a really good example for this question. matched

She's talked about chili. matched
