Read excerpt
We all do it, but this common mistake has major impacts on our bottom lines. Here's how you can stop throwing money down the drain. How is your grocery bill lately? If it’s anything like mine, it has been going up, up, up for months. I’ve cut back on non-essentials, re-upped my Costco membership and cleared out a shelf in my garage for bulk buys of sparkling water and Diet Coke (and also some more nutritious offerings).
