This contest has shown us that some of the best personal finance advice comes from experience,” said Ilyce Glink, managing editor of the Equifax Finance Blog. “Each of the finalist entries had a valuable piece of advice that everyone could incorporate into their budget and daily money habits. In fact, I’ve picked up a few tricks myself.”
In her video, Kaity R. shares her family’s strategies for saving money every week at the grocery store. Her tricks include buying from bulk bins because it saves money on packaging, and finding out which days her local grocery stores offer the best deals.

Kaity said savvy grocery shopping was just one way her family manages their finances.
“We are a family of three living on one salary. In the short-term, we are focused on being resourceful and finding creative ways to pay the bills and have fun on the cheap,” said Kaity. “We’re working towards our main long-term goal of total debt freedom and after that, hope to finally take the honeymoon trip we never had!”
