If You Live Paycheck to Paycheck, These Tips Can Help You Make Your Money Go Further

Inflation has forced many to rethink their finances. AARP has compiled a list of 99 tips to help people maximize their money. Among the advice shared by Gilberto Cabrera, AARP spokesperson, is the use of artificial intelligence. 'When you're planning your meals, you can go to your favorite AI search engine and ask it to fill out a whole week with budget-friendly dinner or lunch menus for your family, and it will design it according to your budget.' Other grocery shopping tips from the organization include: Challenge yourself to spend less. Once or twice a year, take inventory of your pantry. Create recipes with what you already have and plan to spend no more than $20 a week on what you need. Use cash for groceries. One way to stay within your budget is to go out with a fixed amount of cash and avoid using your credit cards. Look for manager's specials. Fresh foods nearing their sell-by date often receive discounts of up to 70%. Use them to prepare a last-minute meal or freeze them for later. Learn when a deal is truly worth it. Keep a price list of frequently purchased items at your grocery store on your phone or in a notebook. This way, you can compare current prices with what you usually pay. Stock up when it makes sense; avoid doing so when it's just a trick to attract buyers. The tips for saving money cover various aspects of daily family life, including health, food purchases, cars, computers, travel, and more. For the complete list, you can click here.
