How You Can Maximize Cash Back & Points On Grocery Spending
Families with big grocery bills can save hundreds of dollars by paying for them with a credit card that offers elevated rewards at the supermarket. According to federal consumer expenditure data, the average U.S. household spent $5,703 on "food at home" in 2022. Paying for groceries with a card that earned just 2% rewards on groceries would have earned such a household more than $114. Imagine getting those kinds of rewards back from just your groceries! You can do it with these cards. And in some cases, rewards rates apply to grocery delivery, too.
