$ Tip: Buy things in season when you can. If it's out of season, shop for it in the frozen section.

Fresh blueberries in season are $0.99 cents a pint; out of season they are $2.99. If you buy them frozen, blueberries are only $1.99.

$ Tip: Sometimes you don't pay for convenience.

Whole Mushrooms cost the same as pre-chopped or sliced mushrooms.
Boxed pound cake costs less than making from scratch (due to the amount of butter).
