Welcome back to Max Cents’ Money Moment! If you’re an impulse shopper while grocery shopping, you might want to consider ordering your groceries online. Not only does this stop you from grabbing random items off shelves, but it also allows you to see how much you’re spending before you actually check out, so you can ensure you stay within budget. Many grocery stores also offer free grocery pickup when you spend a certain amount!

This weekend, beginning at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 8th through 8:00 am on Monday, August 10th, the parking lots at both our Reynoldsburg and Mound Street Branches will be closed, meaning that the ATMs and Night Drop will also be closed. Both parking lots will reopen on Monday morning. We apologize for any inconvenience.
