Now is a great time to stock up on items with holiday packaging, since they're often on sale after the holidays. If you don’t mind seeing a reindeer on your soup can, you can snag some deals that'll last into the new year. Just be sure to check the expiration date. #ShopSimple

Unit prices can help you make the most of your grocery budget. But the lowest unit price isn’t always the best deal, since this often means buying the largest container. Aim to find items with the lowest price that you can use before the expiration date. #ShopSimple
