Food (Club) for Thought
Your DollarsDirect Team has found a very creative way to save money. Start a food club. Sometimes it “pays” to get creative with your most basic expense in life. Follow the steps below for advice on how to start your own club.
- Spread the word – Ask family, friends, and neighbors about joining. Start with a group of at least five families and add more if necessary.
- Shopping Lists – Sit down and compare lists. Everyone drinks milk, but everyone may not drink fat free milk. Also, make sure to track how much the items on your list normally cost. That way you can find better savings in the future.
- Who’s Who – The leader of the club should designate roles to its members. Such as shopping, delivery, and clean up. According to Mint.com, “Once the food is purchased, the group will have to decide where it will be stored … split up [and] delivered. If there are perishable items like fruit or meat, the group may decide pick up has to be right after the shopping spree.”
- Food Club is Fun – Your food club should not be a chore. Arrange parties and share recipes. The more fun everyone has making friends, the longer your club (and money) will last.
Your DollarsDirect family not only helps you with online personal loans; we also want to help you save money in all parts of life.
