Drinking water doesn’t only have health benefits, but it can also help you save money on your groceries.

First, let’s talk about why drinking water is important.  It is important to drink water because your body is made up of about 80% of water. This means to be healthy you must replenish the lost water due to activity so that you don’t become dehydrated.  How by drinking at least half your body weight in water.  For instance, if you weigh 150 pounds you should drink at least 75 ounces of water per day to keep healthy.   Or, you can simply drink 8-12 8 ounce glasses of water to meet your quota.

Next, the benefits of drinking water include aids your body with better digestion, increased energy, provides moisture for your body and weight control.

How is water good for weight control?  Drinking water is good for weight control because water makes you feel full.  You see, your body sometimes confuses thirst with hunger so sometimes you might eat something because you think you are hungry, but you are thirsty.  Ever eat something and wonder why you don’t feel satisfied?  It may be because you were thirsty instead of hungry.  Therefore, drinking water can help you control your weight by not overeating and grocery budget.

How can I increase my water intake?  You can increase your water intake by drinking water with meals instead of having sugary drinks such as juice, soda and milk.  Soda and juice have a lot of calories, however water has no calories.  Another way to increase your water intake is always keep a bottle of water on hand even when you are at work, in the car or are simply out and about.

Drinking water is not only good for your overall, promotes healthy living and helps you save money on groceries too.

Why buy a Fooodsaver?


4 Easy Steps To Save Money on Groceries:

#3 - Subscribe to newsletter: recieve Free updates on how to save money on groceries in your Inbox.
#4 - Buy a Foodsaver to reduce the amount of food you throw away. I did and I save $50 or more per month by using a foodsaver alone.


It's that simple.




In a previous post we talked about which foodsaver model to buy, now let's talk about why buy a foodsaver?

Using a foodsaver is an easy way to save on groceries, you just using it and begin to save money.

I first found out about foodsavers about 10 years ago on an infomercial, it was quite pricey I felt at $199.99. However, if it worked as claimed and resulted in me saving money I felt it was worth the money. At the time I ate out alot so when I went grocery shopping, I figure about a 1/3 of it would go to waste. I am embarassed to tell you that I put about $50 or more of my hard earned money in the garbage each month without giving it much thought. Sure I hated putting the food in the trash, but it didn't dawn on me that I was actually throwing money in the garbage. DUH! Then I saw the foodsaver informercial and a lightbulb went off when I they pointed out how your are wasting money when you throw food in the garbage. When you think of throwing food in the garbage it not limited to uncooked groceries you let get moldy, it also includes leftovers you forget in the refrigerator. Money down the drain.

Now I use the foodsaver religiously, check out the benefits of having a foodsaver.

I am glad that I decided to buy a foodsaver because it has greatly improved the quality of my life. I no longer throw money down the drain which makes my cheap groceries even cheaper because very little goes to waste. The foodsaver is easy to use and much better than putting food in food storage bags with a vacuum seal and helps keep me organized by being stackable.

Grocery Shopping: What Foodsaver Model is Right for Me?

It's that simple.





In a recent post, we talk about Foodsaver: Martha Stewart Endorsement. Read that post if you are unclear about what a foodsaver is and how it can save you tons of money.

This post will help you identify the best foodsaver model for you. Foodsaver comes in various shapes and sizes along with a variety of prices. The prices range from $87.35 to $158.35 and the higher the prices, the more automated the model. We will look at the top 3 models so that you can make more informed decision.
  1. Tilia Advanced V2490 FoodSaver Vacuum-Packaging System - This is the one of the cheaper models of the foodsaver priced at approximately $87.35. It is very efficient and provides the same commercial grade vacuum seal which is the only part of the sealing process which is automated. You will need to make sure you keep scissors handy to cut the storage bag and it fits conveniently it your kitchen cabinet. I am mentioning this because my kitchen is small so I need to always keep my kitchen cabinet as clear as possible and if this is one of your concerns you know what to expect.






  • This is a great counter top model which has an inside compartment for a storage bag roll and a built-in cutter so that you have everything at your fingertip to commence sealing. It also features handsfree sealing, canister and marinate mode. The kit includes an 11-inch roll, 3 quart-size bags and 2 gallon-size bags so you will not need to order
  • anything separately.






  • This model is the same as the V3480 except it is stainless steel and model V3480 is white.
  • Any model you order is a great value for the money.It is simply a matte making a purchasing decision based on you budget and the style of model. I personally recommend Tilia Advanced V2490 FoodSaver Vacuum-Packaging System even though it is one of the cheaper models because it offers the same features as the more expensive models such as handfree operation and canister mode without a great expense.

    If you use a foodsaver consistently, it will pay for itself within 2-3 months depending on the amount of spoilage you were experiencing prior using the foodsaver. I noticed a dramatic deduction in 1 month of using the foodsaver consistently. The only time I experience spoilage now is if I don’t take the time out to store the food using a foodsaver.

    Grocery Shopping: Go Green Use Vinegar to Clean


    Three Simple Steps To Save Money on Groceries:

    It's that simple.





    Did you know that vinegar is the original green cleaner? It is cheap, good for the earth and kills 99% of all bacteria including e. coli and salmonella. It is just as effective as bleach when disinfecting.

    Are you worried that you home will smell like vinegar? Don't because the vinegar smell goes away as the vinegar solution dries. I mix in a spray brought bottle 1 part vinegar and 1 part water. For example, if I have a 16oz spray bottle, then I mix 8 oz of vinegar with 8 oz of water. Also, to further adapt to a greener lifestyle I reuse a spray bottle for a product I use to use to save money.


    A bottle of 16oz vinegar for $1 at the Dollar store or as in
    Are Wholesale Clubs Worth the Price of Membership where a 1.32 gallon or 5 liters of vinegar can be purchased for $5. That is a great price for a product with so MANY uses.


    Why isn't vinegar listed as a cleaner? Heinz or any other company that manufacturers vinegar cannot list it as a cleaning agent unless it is first submitted to the EPA as a pestiside. They will not list it as a pestiside for obvious reasons.

    In the book
    Amazing Apple Cider Vinegar, all the uses of vinegar are identified along with proof that the infall the uses of vinegar are identified along with proof that the information has been verified and works.This book is invaluable because once I saw how good it cleaned, remembered how cheap it is and how green it is. I got very excited and wanted to see where else around the house I could save money and be green!

    Green living is cheap, simple and eco-friendly.

    Grocery Shopping is a daunting, but necessary task. However, planning ahead can save you time and money.

    The 3 secrets are:



    1. Make a grocery list. A list helps you stay focused and prevents you buying unnecessary items. Try to buy items on your list only if they are on sale and you have a coupon for because it will give you a better value for your money and eventually all the items on your list go on sale.

    2. Obtain the weekly sales circular of your choice. Decide where you are going to shop because you don't want to go from store to store wasting time and money. Identify which store will give you a better overall value for you money.

    3. Save Money. Print Free Coupons Anytime.


    4. Use coupons. It sounds clique to use coupons, but coupons are underrated. Despite the fact that it takes time to collect them, they should be regarded as valuable as money. Why? Most grocery stores offer double manufacture coupons which means if you have a $.40 coupon the grocery store will reduce your cost by $.80 instead of $.40. This adds up especially if you are using coupons for your other items as well.

    Using these tips will help you save time and money on groceries because you are using your time and resources effectively.
