Frugal Shoppers Alert

Here are a few points from AARP Magazine for saving money on groceries:

• Begin shopping on the middle aisles, where bargains are often hidden.
• Cheese can be up to 33% cheaper in the dairy case rather than the cheese table.
• Frozen fish and hamburger are up to 40% cheaper than fresh.
• Select grade of beef is leaner, cheaper, but tougher. Use marinade.
• Bagged cereals cost around a dollar less than boxed ones.
• Look for "certified humane" eggs rather than "free range."
• Look for "grass fed" beef rather than "USDA-certified organic."
• "Organic" fish has no fixed meaning as recognized by the USDA.
