Link to the Show: 003 – Cutting Your Grocery Bill in Half with Erin Chase from $5 Dinners.
I started listening to the Bigger Pockets Money Podcast towards the beginning of 2020. I listened to this episode on Sunday June 21, 2020. Happy Father’s Day to me.
The focus of creating this article is to track my thoughts and review of each episode. My memory sucks so having a place on this blog to keep my notes was perfect.
Highlights
I like to listen to the full episode and then write what sticks out for me. There is always a lot of useful information and discussion that occurs during the show, but the following bullet points are what sticks out for me.
- Grocery shopping is the easiest expense to tackle for most household budgets.
- Use the store flyers or apps,
- Have a plan before you go shopping.
- Cash back apps, such as Checkout 51, Ibotta, Coupons.com.

Review
I initially watched the video. Erin is well spoken and knows her grocery budget and shopping really well. Great resource for learning how to grocery budget. I was aware of a few of the apps, but not all the ones that were mentioned. Definitely worth the listen. Funny Amazon Alexa fart trick.
