  Speaker 1: One O six point seven light FM. Good morning, it's
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Kebby Christine. Producer Kristen is here. Kebby. Have you heard
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of this? It's kind of floating around social media. When
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you're heading out to the grocery store, people are using
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: backwards shopping to save money.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Backwards shopping sounds like.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You're taking the cart and going backwards to the store.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking? Or am I going to pay first?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And then it's not quite as literal. The idea is
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: before you head out to the grocery store, you open
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: your fridge, you see what you have, and I know
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: we do this right. You see what you have, and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: then you only buy the groceries you need to complete
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a meal, like with what you already have.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense, actually, yes, because you
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: probably have a lot of things. Yeah, it does take planning.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: You have a lot of things that you might not
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: use because you don't have the other components exactly, So
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: fill in and then get rid of the food.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And just buy that. And that is supposedly a way
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: we can save some money. Interesting little fact. The average
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: person spends a dollar seventy nine per minute as they
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: walk around a grocery store.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I love that somebody figure that out.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I know they figured that out in Costco. If you're
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: there for thirty seven minutes, you've spent sixty four to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: seventy five. I'm thinking of my grocery bills lately, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it's way more than that, like every trip, right.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Right, even for like small items.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, you think you're running in for a few things,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of like, wow, how did this happen?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So if you do this backwards shopping, they say, don't
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: write a list, don't wander aimlessly like I like to do,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: but go very intentional, take inventory of what you have
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and just use all that to complete meals.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: You know something I thought about Maybe it's in that article,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: but you know, when you open your fridge up, take
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a picture.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's true, and then take it with you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: that reminds you, right, yeah, if you can't keep it
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: all in mind.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Because I'm sure if I go grocery shopping, I'll mess
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it up somehow. So the wife normally sends me pictures
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: anyway of things. Audit a picture of the fridge, the cabinets, everything.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we do a lot of pictures back and forth.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right backwards shopping. Now you know one of
