FinanceBuzz reports that the average cost of a dozen eggs this week was $3.01 per dozen, and in-store egg prices are now down 45% since reaching a high in March. And though this is helping shoppers keep even more money in their wallets, there are other things you can do to save money at the grocery store.

Opting for store-brand items over name brands could help lower your grocery bill, as these items are often cheaper. Going to the store with a list also reduces the chance of impulse purchases and could potentially save you as much as 20% or more while shopping.
