Just realized my friend's grocery hack saved him $80 a month

He told me he only buys meat on Tuesdays because that's when his local store marks down the older cuts. I always shopped on weekends and paid full price. Does anyone else plan their whole shopping trip around one specific sale day?

Wow, my shopping "strategy" is just to go when I'm out of ketchup.

Actually, most stores mark down meat a day or two before the sell-by date, not just on one set day.

I used to be the kind of person who just grabbed whatever meat was on top of the pile, didn't think twice about the price or the day. Then my buddy laid out his Tuesday plan and I tried it once, ended up getting two pounds of ground beef for like half the normal cost. Now I check the markdown bin first thing when I walk in, even on random weekdays, and it's wild how much I was just throwing away by sticking to weekends.
