Well, going grocery shopping, you may want to log on.
Yeah, you heard us right. It could save you some money. Alan Akina explains.
Good morning, everyone. I'd like to thank one of our viewers, Maeva Anderson from the North Shore, for submitting today's Thrifty Thursday tip on how to save money on groceries using Amazon.com. Now, I was so intrigued with her tip that I decided to try it out for myself. So I ordered all of these food items that my family would normally buy at the store. I got this 21-ounce box of Apple Jacks for $2.35 each and this Kix Honey for $3.19 each, and the Nutri-Grain bars were $1.69 a box. Best of all, folks, the shipping was free. Now here's all you need to do to start saving. Go to amazon.com and click on the tab called Grocery, Health, and Beauty. Next, narrow your choices by clicking on a subcategory like breakfast foods, and then start shopping. Before you check out, be sure that the items you choose qualify for free Super Saver shipping. Tune in next week as I show you how to boost your savings by 15% or more on Amazon. For Wake Up Today, I'm Alan Akina. See you on Monday.
And Alinda, do you hear that? The keyboards clicking all across the state right now.
Click, click.
I can hear it.
That is interesting.
It is very fascinating. That's a, that's a smart way to save a little bit of money.
Yeah, non-perishables, buy them online, get sent straight to your house.
Thrifty Thursday.
