You spent hours earning your money -- now learn how to save it! Here are nine easy tips to help you keep your money in your wallet at the checkout line.

Know What You Spend to Know What You Save

The idea of saving money on your groceries is great. But you won't know what you save until you know what you spend.

Try these tips to help you start:

Compare the before and after. Try shopping for two weeks the way you normally do, then two weeks using our money-saving tips. Compare what you spent on each shopping trip to see how much you saved.

Take note of what worked. When you find that something really made a difference on the bottom line, make a note -- mental or otherwise -- and use it again and again.

Make it a family affair. Like any game, saving money can get addictive. Have a competition with family and friends to see who can find the lowest prices or the biggest bargain.
