3. Organic food

If you're looking to trade up to healthier organic foods without inflating your monthly grocery bill, private store labels are your best bet to save, says Teri Gault, founder of the Grocery Game thegrocerygame.com, a program that helps consumers match manufacturers' coupons with supermarket sales. "Certified organic is certified organic," she says. "There's no need to go for the brand name."

Making things easier, most big chains have an organic line -- Meijer has Meijer Organics, for example, while Publix has GreenWise Market and Safeway has O Organics. You'll pay more than you would for conventional generics, but up to 50% less than brand-name organic products. Click here and here for more tips on how to save on organic foods.
