Here's How People In Vancouver Save Money On Groceries & Damn, There Are Some Good Tips

If you are living in the city of Vancouver, you probably understand the struggle of grocery shopping right now and how much it can hurt your wallet.

One Reddit user got so sick of the pricey groceries in the city, they asked a Vancouver Reddit page for some money-saving tips.

Thankfully, more than a few locals came to the rescue and shared some very helpful ways to score cheap groceries, as well as hacks to save a buck or two.

Collect points

Shopping at places that have reward programs to earn major discounts on your purchases is a no-brainer. Stick to shopping at the same spot if you can and let those points rack up so you can make some money off bills in the future — or use the money towards some cool things.

More rewards at Save on Foods will even allow you to redeem BC Ferries tickets through your points.

Flipp app

Flipp app allows you to flip through all the flyers of nearby grocery stops so you can price match with any stores that will allow it. It's a great little hack to save a dollar here or there.

One user said: "It allows you to search all local flyers and prepare a list of prices you wish to price match. I use this heavily at Superstore to get the most savings."

Costco for meats and cheese

If you are big on charcuterie, you might want to check out Costco for your next meat and cheese run — including parmesan. Especially, if you are buying in bulk, it's a great way to save some extra cash.

Try going to No Frills

No Frills has some great deals and will even price match, according to one Reddit user.

Keep your eyes peeled for their grocery flyers so that you know when you get some savings.

Vacuum seal your cheese

Once again, Costco for the win on cheese finds, apparently.

One user suggests buying a big block of cheese, vacuum sealing it up and saving the whole thing for months. This way, you can really get a bang for your buck.

While you're at it, you can also get a vacuum sealer at Costco — it's the one-stop shop.

Store your avocados in the fridge

Next time you buy a big bag of those expensive avocados — store them in the fridge and take them out to ripen as you please. As avocados are so finicky and costly at the same time, any way to save money on these is a win.

Especially, if you love to have avocado toast every morning.

Try local Asian grocers

Asian grocery stores may take the win on some great deals — especially tomatoes — according to one user. It's worth checking out if the prices are anything better than big grocers like Save on Foods or Whole Foods.

Buy produce that's in season

Unless you really need to have a watermelon in the winter, just stay away from any product that is not in season.

Next time you do a grocery run, make sure to write these down!
