Money-saving Grocery Store Hacks That Could Save You Hundreds

Photo Courtesy: Victoria_Borodinova/Pixabay

Grocery shopping is one of those necessities every adult has to do. While it may not be the most enjoyable part of your day, we all run out of food eventually. Grocery stores are filled with sales, coupons, flashy displays and other trappings to get you to spend more money than intended. From the right aisles to head down to the importance of never shopping hungry, we've rounded up a list of grocery shopping hacks to help you save money.

Shop Less Frequently

If you're constantly running to the grocery store for a few things, you may be spending a lot more money than you want to. Going to the grocery store too often leads to overspending — not only through impulse buying but also because you aren't planning your meals out.

Photo Courtesy: Stevepb/Pixabay

Let's say you get off work at 5 p.m. and have nothing planned for dinner. Instead of going home with a meal already planned, you have to get to the grocery store, hungry and in a hurry, where you're far more likely to pick up things you don't need.

Check Unit Prices

When it comes to buying in bulk, more isn't always better. It's tempting to just assume that a huge pack of paper towels is cheaper than a smaller pack. But you always need to check the unit price, rather than the total price.

Photo Courtesy: gingerbreadca/Pixabay

The unit price on an item is located in smaller print right next to the retail price on the tag. Let's say you get 10 items for $10. The unit price is $1. If you see the same item in a six-pack for $5, this is a better deal because your unit price is less than $1 — around $0.83.

Shop the Perimeter of the Store

The aisles in the center of the store are typically reserved for processed foods, packaged goods and canned items. This is where you're going to spend the most money. The perimeter of the store is where the fresh produce, meat counter, deli and refrigerated items are located.

Photo Courtesy: ElasticComputeFarm/Pixabay

By shopping the perimeter of the store you'll be sticking to mostly fresh items that are healthier and less expensive. Processed foods are not only worse for you health-wise, but you're more likely to spend more money on them. Save some greens and buy more greens on the edge of the grocery store.

Make a Shopping List

When you go to the grocery store without a plan, you're way more likely to overspend. When you don't have any idea what you're looking for, you can easily buy much more than you need and spend money on impulse buys. Always go shopping with a list.

Photo Courtesy: GamerChef6/Pixabay

You'll quickly realize you threw an extra piece of candy in the cart or added a jar of pasta sauce you didn't need because you didn't have a shopping list. Make a shopping list to keep yourself on track. You can write one out on paper or keep one in your phone.

Shop Above Eye Level

The items sitting at eye level on the shelves are meant to grab your attention. They're also meant to grab the attention of the little kid you may have along with you. Companies spend millions of dollars on marketing to place those items directly in your line of sight while you're shopping.

Photo Courtesy: kc0uvb/Pixabay

Avoid temptation and look above the items located at eye level. Foods located on lower or higher shelves are often items that are better priced. You'll see promotional- or higher-priced items directly in front of you for a quick sale. Buyer beware — look all around on the shelves.

Properly Store Your Food

If you always find yourself with food that's expired or that has gone bad, you may not be storing your food properly. Fresh food that isn't stored safely can expire much faster. It's one of the worst feelings when you think you have a bunch of groceries in your fridge but, when you take them out, they've gone rotten.

Photo Courtesy: Pexels/Pixabay

Instead of wasting spoiled food, properly store your food in the refrigerator, freezer or an airtight container to keep it fresher longer. To keep fruits and vegetables fresh, store them in your refrigerator's crisper drawers.

Get Groceries Delivered

There are many local and national grocery stores that have services to shop for and hand-deliver your groceries for you. Not only will your groceries get delivered to your doorstep, but one of the best parts is that you don't have to shop for them. Check with your grocery store to see if it has an app for ordering groceries.

Photo Courtesy: Free-Photos/Pixabay

There are also several third-party grocery-delivery services out there that can deliver from your local store if it doesn't have an in-house service. Buying online forces you to plan ahead and make a shopping list. You'll also save money on impulse buys.

Get a Rain Check

Grocery stores often run promotions and sales. Too often, however, the quantities are limited to move the items quickly. If you don't see any fine print about the sale ending while supplies last, you may still be able to get the discount on sold-out items.

Photo Courtesy: bethrosengard/Pixabay

Ask your store for a rain check for the items on sale. When the items come back in stock, you can use your vouchers to take advantage of the previous sale price. If a sale doesn't have any language prohibiting this, a store manager will often honor the sale with a rain check.

Never Shop Hungry

Never go to the grocery store when you're hungry. This is one of the cardinal rules of grocery shopping. When you're hungry, everything looks good, so you're way more likely to spend money on food you don't need.

Photo Courtesy: mohamed_hassan/Pixabay

A hungry shopper will aimlessly add groceries to their cart, spending more money than they intended to because they're famished. If you haven't eaten, munch on a snack before you start shopping so you don't overspend. Being hangry while shopping is a terrible idea.

Check Your Pantry

Mindless shopping is all too easy to do. Often, people visit the grocery store and can't remember if they have a certain spice already or if they have enough sugar for a recipe. Instead of checking the pantry beforehand, they may just buy the item and find there are already three unopened containers of the same spice they just bought.

Photo Courtesy: ErikaWittlieb/Pixabay

When it comes to spices, seasonings and baking ingredients, this can be easy to do. Pantry items are sometimes things we don't use every day, so we forget what we have in stock. Check your pantry before you shop so you don't overbuy.

Go for Meatless Mondays

Meatless Mondays are a nice way to save some money. One of the most expensive items during every shopping trip is meat. Meat is also the most expensive part of a meal or recipe. If you're trying to save a little money on groceries, skip the meat at least once per week.

Photo Courtesy: Free-Photos/Pixabay

To make it easy to remember, go with Meatless Mondays to save some money. You can make a vegetable pasta dish, serve breakfast for dinner or enjoy a nice salad with tons of veggies. Soup and chili are also great meatless options that you can eat for multiple meals.

Taco Tuesday

If you want to stick with meals that are easy to remember, Taco Tuesday is another great option. Taco Tuesday means there's always one night a week when you don't have to plan a dinner. Every Tuesday, you know you'll be having some kind of taco. Not only are tacos inexpensive, but they can save you money spent at the grocery store and time spent planning menus.

Photo Courtesy: guerita/Pixabay

Each week, you'll automatically know what ingredients you need to buy for Taco Tuesday. You'll have meal planning on autopilot, which makes it easier to enjoy your dinner. With enough practice, you'll be able to whip up your favorite recipe fast.

Don't Buy Pre-cut Produce

Although it may seem like a tempting time saver, buying pre-cut produce can cost you a lot of money in the long run. Save some cash on your grocery bill by buying fruits and vegetables whole and cutting them up at home.

Photo Courtesy: silviarita/Pixabay

Pre-cut produce is sold with a huge mark-up. You're mostly just paying for the convenience factor. You can save a little money each week by planning out your produce ahead of time and chopping it up yourself at home all in one go. For easy meal prep, you can also keep chopped veggies in containers in your fridge for easy access.

Compare Different Stores

While it may be more convenient to shop at the same store each week, shopping around may save you money. Start by comparing prices on some of the items you buy each week. Say you always buy the same gallon of milk on a weekly basis. Look at that item online and at different stores to see what it costs.

Photo Courtesy: mohamed_hassan/Pixabay

While you're price checking, you may also find that your favorite store is willing to price match. Some stores may also up-charge items on their apps or online delivery services. Check the prices before you order just in case.

Shop Seasonally

Seasonal produce is almost always less expensive than fruits or vegetables that are out of season. If you're buying something that isn't in season in the part of the country where you live, you'll have to pay a premium.

Photo Courtesy: TeroVesalainen/Pixabay

To save some money, buy produce that's in season. Produce that's grown locally will be much more affordable. Leave the exotic seasonal items for a different time of year if possible. You can also try shopping at farmers' markets to get the freshest in-season produce grown right in your community.

Stock Up on Organic Meat

If you're buying organic meat, watch out for sales or for what's in season. Let's say it's crab season. If possible, buy in bulk when it's affordable and in stock. If you don't use all of the crabs you bought, you can freeze the meat in vacuum-sealed bags. When you need it, you can pull it out of the freezer.

Photo Courtesy: RitaE/Pixabay

Organic meat is also more expensive. If you find a sale or see meat that's overstocked, buy in bulk to take advantage of the price. Figure out various meals or freeze whatever you don't cook that week so it stays fresh.

Learn the Organic Store Brands

Organic food is more expensive than generic and non-organic food — sometimes by twice as much. To save money on the organics you love, learn what your store's organic brand is and buy it.

Photo Courtesy: evita-ochel/Pixabay

Almost every major store chain has its own food brand. On that same note, each store likely has its own organic food line. Whole Foods, for example, has the 365 Organic brand. Buying the grocery store's generic organic brand can save you a lot of money. You'll get the benefits of organic ingredients without the expensive label.

Bring Your Own Bags

In many cities and countries, a plastic bag charge or tax has been put in place. In order to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment, many stores in bigger cities in the United States charge you extra if you want to bring your food home in the shop's disposable bags.

Photo Courtesy: MabelAmber/Pixabay

The same may go for paper bags, depending on where you live. To save money, bring your own bags to the checkout line. Not only will you save a few cents each time, but you'll also be doing Mother Nature a good deed. Bringing your own bags to the grocery store is a good move all around, and over time, the savings can add up.

Set a Budget

Setting a budget can save you a lot of money at the grocery store. If you go to the store without a target budget, you're far more likely to overspend. If you can set a budget, you'll be able to keep your eyes on the prize while shopping.

Photo Courtesy: fancycrave1/Pixabay

To help set your budget, plan out your meals for that grocery trip in advance. Next, write out the ingredients and make your shopping list. Estimate what everything on your list will cost, and go to the store with a plan. If you figured $100 for groceries for the week, stick to right around that amount. Keep a running tally in your head as you shop.

Join Rewards Programs

Almost all retailers and grocery stores have rewards loyalty programs. Some stores may also offer apps that provide promotions and sales to loyalty program members. As a member, you may receive free food or exclusive coupons.

Photo Courtesy: Stevepb/Pixabay

Loyalty program members may also receive discounts on items that they buy regularly. Stores may offer special sales to loyalty program members only. Typically, you'll just need to show or scan your card at checkout to receive your discount. Often, you can also scan your app, give your phone number or show an ID to verify your information for the rewards program.

Skip the Bottled Water

Bottled water is a problem for several reasons. Not only are plastic bottles terrible for the environment, but they also cost a lot of money. You'll save a lot on groceries each week if you skip the bottled water on your next trip to the store.

Photo Courtesy: PhotoMIX-Company/Pixabay

If clean water is an issue in your area, you can buy larger jugs of water or use a water-filtration system. You can use a small pitcher filtering system or hook one up directly to your kitchen sink. Either way, you'll save money by filtering your own water.

Buy a Whole Chicken

Smaller portions of chicken packaged up separately cost more than a chicken you buy whole. This is because you're paying a premium for someone else to separate the different cuts on the bird. To save some money, buy a whole chicken. You can purchase it fresh, frozen or already cooked in the rotisserie oven.

Photo Courtesy: Free-Photos/Pixabay

When you buy a whole chicken, you can use it for several different meals. Whether you're making soups, salads or the many different chicken entrees out there, you can save a lot of money on meals for the week using an entire chicken. This helps with meal prep, too.

Buy Bulk Coffee

Buying coffee at an expensive coffeehouse costs you a lot of money. Instead of paying $5 a day for a coffee somewhere else, buy coffee at the grocery store and make it at home. You can usually grind the beans for free at the store, too.

By brewing your own coffee at home, you'll save on your weekly expenses. A bag of coffee may only cost you $15 a week. Buying cups of coffee at a coffeehouse for $5 a day can cost you up to $35 a week. Those are some big savings over time.

Go Down an Unused Aisle

If you're going into the grocery store to buy a couple of things, go down an aisle that you don't typically shop in. Let's say you don't have a baby or a pet. Go down the baby care or pet supplies aisle on your next trip. By going down aisles of products you don't need, you'll be less likely to make impulse buys.

When you just want to grab something quickly but you need to get to the back of the store, steer clear of temptation and head down an aisle you know you won't buy something from. Diapers and dog toys aren't usually impulse buys if you don't have a baby or pet.

Check Ads Before You Go

Before you hit the grocery store aisles, check the sale ads for your local stores. Stores typically advertise sales and upcoming promotions or give coupons in their sale flyers. By checking these ads before you go, you could save some money each week.

Let's say you always buy bananas but you don't care about where they come from. By checking your local sale ads, you can see which store is running a sale on bananas that week. If you didn't check the ad, you'd probably just head to your regular store and grab the same bananas you did last week out of habit.

Download the Store's App

Many grocery stores now offer internal apps. On these apps, you can see sale ads, current promotions and coupons or even order groceries for pick-up or delivery. By checking out a store's app before you go shopping, you'll also be able to see what's on sale.

Some stores put manufacturers' coupons or internal rewards program discounts on their apps. If the app has the capabilities, you can also use it to create a shopping list and the app will tell you where the items are located in the store. You can find other store locations as well if you're shopping in a different part of town.

Do the Math

A lot of the overspending that occurs at the grocery store is attributed to people just not doing the math properly. Imagine you're looking at a coupon or a sale. Do the math to see if the unit price is actually less expensive or if the savings are worth it. Sometimes stores assume you'll only notice the "sale" sign and make the snap decision to buy the item without really thinking.

Although a sale or coupon may look appealing at first glance, by doing some quick math, you may notice that the item you're buying isn't actually cheaper at all. Math can also help you determine if buying in bulk makes more sense or not.

Ask Your Butcher Questions

When it comes to meat and seafood, getting to know your butcher can be a good investment. If you find a butcher you like, you may discover they hook you up with tips on what cuts of meat to purchase. They might also tell you about recipe ideas or sales.

Regardless of whether or not you're on a first-name basis with your butcher, you can always ask them questions and have them go a step further if you need assistance. If you're getting certain less-expensive cuts of meat, for example, you can have the butcher run them through a meat tenderizer for free.

Don't Fall for the Sale

Have you ever fallen for a sale at the grocery store and bought something you didn't need? Don't fall into the sale trap. If you're already going to the grocery store on a limited budget, you should stick to your plan.

If funds are limited and you have a set meal plan and shopping list in mind, stay strong and ignore the sales. While a sale may save you money on something you need, if you weren't going to purchase that item anyway, it's actually costing you more to buy it at all. Look away when you need to and stay within your budget.

Pay Attention While Checking Out

One of the most important things you can do when you're at the grocery store is pay attention to the checkout line. Harmless mistakes can cost you money. If you aren't paying attention, you may miss an item that gets scanned twice or something that accidentally got added to your cart.

You should also watch the register to make sure that your coupons are applied correctly and the sales and promotions are honored. Do some quick math before you get up there, and don't be afraid to verify numbers or look closely at the receipt before you walk away.

30 Celebrities Whose Kids Look Just Like Them

Photo Courtesy: @etnow/Twitter

Having famous parents comes with plenty of fringe benefits, like going to red carpet premieres and being able to score tickets to Coachella. But looking like your mom's younger sister (or your dad's baby bro) is the ultimate perk for these celebrity kids.

Check out these 30 celebrity children that look exactly like their famous parents.

Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe

At the time, it seemed like Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe had one of those fairytale Hollywood marriages. The pair met on Reese's 21st birthday in 1997 and were married a little more than two years later. They welcomed their first child, Ava Elizabeth, on Sept. 9, 1999. But now that she's all grown up she looks like she could be Reese's younger sister.

Ava doesn't seem to have much interest in following in her mom's acting footsteps, however, she's carving out her own career modeling for high-profile fashion brands like Rodarte and showing off her drawing skills on social media. Also, she's an incredibly talented musician, which proud mama Reese loves to brag about in interviews.

Demi Moore and Rumer Willis

With their dark locks and piercing eyes, Demi Moore and eldest daughter Rumer Glenn Willis are near mirror-images of each other. Born to Moore and then-husband Bruce Willis in 1988, Rumer is a successful actress in her own right, often stepping out with her mother on the red carpet.

Aside from bit parts as a toddler, Willis made her film debut in 1995 with a supporting role in the coming-of-age drama Now and Then. (Demi was also in the film, but the two had no scenes together). She appeared on the primetime reboot of 90210 and landed a recurring role on Pretty Little Liars before going on to win the 20th season of Dancing with the Stars with partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy.

Vanessa Paradis and Lily-Rose Depp

If French model Vanessa Paradis ever needed to call out sick from a photo shoot, she could send daughter Lily-Rose in her place. The pair share the same high cheekbones and smoldering eyes and could easily pass for sisters. But while Lily-Rose could easily have become a top supermodel, she's taken up acting like her father, Johnny Depp.

Lily-Rose, who was born in France in 1999 and raised in Los Angeles, made her film debut in Kevin Smith's comedy horror film Tusk. She reprised her role a few years later in the sequel Yoga Hosers."Lily-Rose also appeared in the Oscar-winning documentary Period. End of Sentence and has been an outspoken advocate for Planned Parenthood.

Christie Brinkley and Sailor Brinkley-Cook

Christie Brinkley rose to fame in the 1970s when she graced the cover of the legendary Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue not once, not twice, but an unprecedented three years in a row. She parlayed that success into a high-profile modeling career that lasted decades. And now her daughter, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, could very well do the same.

Sailor, who shares her mother's all-American style, is Christie's daughter from her fourth marriage to architect Peter Cook, which lasted from 1996 to 2008. She began modeling at age 15 and has since appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and booked several national ad campaigns through IMG Models.

David Beckham and Brooklyn Beckham

When your parents are "Posh and Becks," as Victoria and David Beckham were dubbed by the British press early on in their relationship, it's almost guaranteed you'll either become a model or soccer player. Sorry, Brooklyn Joseph, those are the rules.

Brooklyn, who shares his father's rugged good looks, played one year of soccer in the Arsenal youth division, but left because he didn't want to play professionally. Instead, he took after his mother by attending Parsons School of Design in New York City, launching a successful modeling career with covers of major fashion magazines, Vogue China and Interview.

Heather Locklear and Ava Sambora

Melrose Place star Heather Locklear loves musicians. After divorcing Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in 1993, she married Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. The couple eventually separated in 2007 and shared joint custody of their only daughter Ava Elizabeth, who with the same blue-eyed, blonde-haired looks could pass for her mother's sister.

Ava Elizabeth, who often accompanied her mother on the red carpet, has remarked in interviews that she'd love to follow in her mother's acting footsteps. And so far, she's done a pretty good job. She made her film debut in Judd Apatow's 2012 comedy This is 40, and appeared in the short-lived reality series SummerBreak 3.

Uma Thurman and Maya Hawke

The eldest daughter of Uma Thurman and ex-husband Ethan Hawke, Maya Hawke is a successful model and actress in her own right. She briefly attended Juilliard because, as she put it in a 2018 interview with W Magazine, "For me, acting has always felt like something you just do – the idea that anyone didn't perform in plays was bizarre to me."

She left the famed acting school when she landed the role of Jo March in the 2017 BBC adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel Little Women. (She also joined the cast of Stranger Things in its third season). Maya even kept up a family tradition when she landed a modeling assignment for Vogue, which her mother and grandmother appeared in during their own modeling days.

Madonna and Lourdes Leon

Lourdes Leon isn't one to seek the limelight, but when your mother is Madonna, you don't really have to. Born in 1997 to Madonna and her then partner Carlos Leon, Lourdes grew up to be the mirror image of her famous mother and is forging her own path as a model.

Lourdes, who graduated from the University of Michigan, often plays up her looks with edgy, rock-and-roll influenced fashion that pays homage to her mother's early days. And major fashion brands have noticed. Miu Miu cast Lourdes in its latest fashion campaign, and she's a front-row fixture at fashion shows and other high-profile events.

Alan Thicke and Robin Thicke

Pop quiz: who do you think of when you hear the last name "Thicke"? If you're a child of the '80s, it's probably Alan, who played suburban patriarch Dr. Jason Weaver on the hit sitcom Growing Pains. If you're Gen Z, it's his son Robin who shot to fame with the catchy (and controversial) single Blurred Lines.

Robin, who looks like he could be his dad's much younger brother, was born in 1977 and acted in a few small roles as a child. This was prior to the decision to follow his musical passions. He got his start writing songs for big-name talents such as Brandy and Christina Aguilera before branching out with his own solo album in 2003. Ten years later, he released Blurred Lines, which became a cultural phenomenon.

Kate Beckinsale and Lily Mo Sheen

Flowy brunette locks? Check. Runway-ready style? Check. Matching English accents? Check. Those are just some of the similarities between actress Kate Beckinsale and her twenty something daughter, Lily Mo, who is the latest in a long line of children who grew up looking like a younger version of their famous mother.

Except Lily Mo, whose father is actor Michael Sheen (he and Kate were together from 1995 to 2003), hasn't given any indications she's ready to go into acting. Aside from a handful of small roles in the 2000s, her IMDB resume hasn't been updated since 2009, as she's since decided to go to college.

Bette Midler and Sophie Von Haselberg

For most her life, Sophie von Haselberg was adamant about being different than her mother, Oscar-nominated actress and singer Bette Midler. And despite going by her father's last name (dad is performance artist Martin von Haselberg), and even moving to Shanghai, there was no escaping the fact that Sophie looked exactly like her world-famous mom.

Or that she would eventually give in to her show business roots. Sophie studied sociology and East Asian history and tried her hand at publishing before realizing acting was her true calling. After moving back to the U.S., she made her stage debut in New York City in 2014 and has since appeared in several indie films and the FX drama The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

Susan Sarandon and Eva Amurri

With their matching red tresses and statuesque style, Susan Sarandon and daughter Eva Amurri Martino look more like a pair of tight-knit siblings than mother and daughter. Eva spent her childhood visiting her famous mom on-set and tagging along to political rallies, so it makes sense that the two share a close bond that matches their shared looks.

Eva was born in 1985 during Sarandon's first marriage to actor Chris Sarandon (aka Prince Humperdinck from The Princess Bride). The Brown University graduate has starred alongside her mother on several occasions. In 2002, she played her on-screen daughter in The Banger Sisters, and the pair also appeared together on an episode of Friends (The One with Joey's New Brain).

Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow

Maybe it's all the Transcendental Meditation (or maybe it's just genetics), but actress Gwyneth Paltrow looks enough like her mother Blythe Danner to cause a double take. The pair, who have been photographed together often over the years, share the same serene beauty. (Hey, maybe they're onto something with all that meditation).

Danner gave birth to Gwyneth, her eldest child and only daughter, in 1972. Gwyneth's father, actor and director Bruce Paltrow, died in 2002. Since winning Best Actress for her breakout role in 1998's Shakespeare in Love, she's become one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood and an influential lifestyle figure with her health and wellness brand, GOOP.

Tom Hanks and Colin Hanks

Some celebrity kids use a different last name to avoid being associated with their famous parents while others stay out of the spotlight entirely. But even if Colin Hanks were to go by his stepmom Rita's last name (Wilson), there'd be no avoiding the fact that the Life in Pieces star is a dead ringer for his dad, Tom Hanks.

Colin made his film debut in the 1996 film That Thing You Do!, which coincidentally happened to be written and directed by his dad. But that wouldn't be the last time the pair worked together. Tom later directed him in an episode of the critically-acclaimed HBO mini-series Band of Brothers.

Gordon Ramsay and Jack Ramsay

Given his frequent outbursts on the reality TV cooking series, Hell's Kitchen, you'd be justified in thinking Gordon Ramsay must be pretty terrifying in real life. But Jack Ramsay, who shares his dad's pug-nosed features and spiky blond hair, can attest to how big a softy his hot-tempered dad really is.

Jack, who has a fraternal twin named Holly, frequently posts pictures with his famous dad on Instagram and usually refers to him as his "best mate." That's pretty sweet considering Gordon's image as a foul-mouthed boss from hell. In fact, Gordon has talked about how much he misses Jack, who recently moved away to attend the prestigious Exeter University.

Liam Gallagher and Lennon Gallagher

It's easy to see why Lennon Gallagher, son of former Oasis lead singer Liam Gallagher, is one of the UK fashion scene's hottest up-and-coming male models. The artistic twenty something inherited his dad's slouchy frame and rugged features, which makes for an irresistible combination of style and swagger on the runway.

Lennon, whose mother is Liam's first wife Patsy Kensit, balances his studies at the Guildhall of School of Music and Dramatic Arts in London while walking in shows for Topman and Saint Laurent. In fact, Lennon was just recently named the newest face of the legendary French fashion house and has appeared in their latest rock-and-roll inspired ad campaign.

Kim Zolciak and Brielle Biermann

When your mom is an OG Bravo Housewife, there's no such thing as a "normal" life. Kim Zolciak was a breakout hit on the first season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and her daughter Brielle, who was 10 when the show began filming, essentially spent her childhood on-camera.

Now, she's all grown up and looking more like her TV star mom every day. Brielle has often said in interviews that Kim, who raised her as a single mother, is like a best friend to her, and encourages her to pursue everything from modeling to a career in television.

Robin Wright and Dylan Penn

It's striking how much Dylan Penn looks like her mother, actress Robin Wright. The pair share the same slim profile that propelled Dylan to a modeling career that mirrors Robin's own early days in front of the camera. And like her mom, Dylan has transitioned to working in film and TV.

The eldest daughter of the House of Cards actress and ex-husband Sean Penn, Dylan got her start modeling for Gap in 2013 and landed a part in the music video for Nick Jonas' 2014 single Chains. She's since appeared with her younger brother Hopper at Milan Fashion Week and starred in the 2016 film Elvis & Nixon.

Clint Eastwood and Scott Eastwood

It can't be easy having Clint Eastwood as your dad. He's an Oscar-winning actor and director and, for many, the very definition of masculinity. But for Scott Eastwood, who started out his career under the name Scott Reeves to avoid being accused of nepotism, looking like your dad in his heyday goes a long way.

Scott, whose mother is former flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves, made his film debut in 2006 with a role in Clint's WWII drama Flags of our Fathers, and has since starred in several other of his dad's films. Other major roles of his include Suicide Squad and The Fate of the Furious.

Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson

From her early days on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In to films like Overboard and Death Becomes Her, Goldie Hawn has long reigned as one of Hollywood's funniest ladies. She's passed on her golden comedic timing to daughter Kate Hudson, who could easily play her mother back in her '60s heyday.

Hudson, Goldie's daughter from her second husband Bill Hudson, has often remarked that she considers her mother's longtime partner Kurt Russell to be her real father. She shares her mother's bubbly energy and strong-willed drive. Hudson's not only a successful actress, but the founder of the successful activewear company, Fabletics, and author of several lifestyle books.

Kris Jenner and Kendall Jenner

Kris Jenner is approaching the age at which most U.S. citizens are eligible to collect Social Security benefits, but you'd never know that from looking at a picture of her and daughter, Kendall. Kendall is the second youngest of her six kids, but looks more like her baby sister.

Kendall, who was born in 1995, is one of the top fashion models in the world and has walked in shows for such major designers as Balmain, Chanel, Alexander Wang and Marc Jacobs. In 2018, she earned the title of the highest-paid model in the industry. She's also been a key player on social media and has launched several business and charitable endeavors.

Jerry Hall and Georgia May Jagger

Georgia May Jagger got her English accent and cool British style from her dad, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, but her statuesque features and innate poise are definitely all thanks to her mom, former model and actress Jerry Hall. So it's no surprise that Georgia, who channels Jerry's youthful beauty, is a model and fashion icon in her own right.

Georgia May started modeling in 2008 at the age of 16, and has walked shows for Miu Miu, Versace, Chanel and Vivienne Westwood. In 2012, she walked alongside British fashion legends Kate Moss, Lily Donaldson and Naomi Campbell in the London Olympics closing ceremony, and has since worked on several designer collaborations.

Candace Cameron Bure and Natasha Bure

Natasha Bure knows how much she looks like her mother, Fuller House star Candace Cameron Bure. Back in 2015, she posted a holiday-themed video where she and Candace wore matching antler ears and holiday sweaters that made it impossible to tell them apart. Imagine being able to do that with your mom!

Natasha Bure is the eldest daughter of Cameron and husband Val Bure, a former professional hockey player and two-time Olympic medalist. Natasha has accompanied her mom on the red carpet for years and has branched out into modeling and acting in commercials and music videos. In 2016, she made it past the first round of auditions on The Voice, but was eliminated before being picked by any of the judges.

Judi Dench and Finty Williams

The only daughter of stage and screen icon Dame Judi Dench, Finty Williams shares her mother's love of acting and quietly powerful features (but not her signature silver hair, at least not yet). The pair are often photographed together at various theater performances and award ceremonies, which shows just how deep their mother-daughter bond goes.

Finty, who studied at the famed Central School of Speech and Drama in London, has been open about the pressures and pitfalls of coming from such a famous family (Dench reportedly tried to steer her away from acting entirely). She's since become a successful actress in her own right, with roles in Gosford Park, The Importance of Being Earnest and a lead voiceover role in the animated children's series Angelina Ballerina.

Lisa Bonet and Zoë Kravitz

Maybe you first saw her as teenage mutant Angel Salvadore in X-Men: First Class or as one of the beautiful breeders Charlize Theron tries to liberate in Mad Max: Fury Road. But no matter where you first saw Zoë Kravitz, it's almost certain the first thought that popped into your head was, "She looks exactly like her mother."

And it's true – her delicate features and unapologetically individual attitude make her the mirror image of her mother, actress Lisa Bonet. And the icing on the cake? Her dad is rocker Lenny Kravitz. She's landed roles in major franchises like the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and the long-running X-Men series, and has kept a steady side gig as a singer in the R&B pop band, Lolawolfe.

Steven Tyler and Liv Tyler

Liv Tyler grew up thinking her dad was musician Todd Rundgren, but after meeting Steven Tyler when she was eight, Liv instantly knew the Aerosmith front man was her real father. And it's not hard to see why; with her famous pout and model-worthy cheekbones, Liv looks just like Steven.

Liv's mother, former model Bebe Buell, had a fling with Tyler in 1976 while she was involved with Rundgren, who raised Liv as his own until she eventually learned the truth. Liv began modeling as a teenager, but eventually transitioned to acting with a breakout role in the video for Aerosmith's 1993 hit Crazy. She's since starred in the Lords of the Rings trilogy and appeared on the HBO series The Leftovers.

Priscilla Presley and Lisa Marie Presley

As the only daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley was the sole heir to her father's famous Graceland estate and musical legacy. And while she may have inherited her father's talent as a singer and songwriter, she also grew up to look just like her mother.

Lisa Marie was just nine when Elvis died, and on her 25th birthday she inherited his estate (at the time it was reported to have been worth over $100 million). She released her first album, To Whom it May Concern, in 1993, and followed it up with two more successful albums. She's also an outspoken philanthropist through her own charitable foundation.

Tish Cyrus and Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus is her mom Tish Cyrus' third child, but after seeing them together, you'd be forgiven for mistaking her for her mom's younger sister instead. The Grammy-winning singer shares Tish's sun-kissed smile and heart-shaped features, both of which helped make her a star on the Disney series Hannah Montana.

Hannah Montana launched Miley's career as an actress and singer, and her post-Disney years have been as wild and controversial as they were successful. She's released three No. 1 albums, half a dozen top 10 singles (including the 2013 hit Wrecking Ball) and been a coach on the reality singing show The Voice.

Will Smith and Jaden Smith

Sometimes, growing up with famous parents means leaning into it. But for Jaden Smith, looking like dad Will Smith's doppelganger has pushed him to explore fame on his own terms. Along with a brief foray into Hollywood with roles in films like The Pursuit of Happyness and After Earth (both of which starred his dad), Jaden has branched out into music and fashion.

Smith, who sought an emancipation ruling from his parents when he was 15, released his first mixtape in 2012 and released his debut album, Syre, five years later. He's since become a fixture at fashion shows and has modeled for Louis Vuitton, where he raised eyebrows for an ad campaign that featured him wearing a kilt and women's wear.

Diana Ross and Tracee Ellis Ross

When Tracee Ellis Ross steps out with her mother, legendary Motown singer and actress Diana Ross, the similarities between the two are striking. Tracee, the second oldest of Diana's five children, plays up their shared features by coordinating her looks with her mother when they appear on the red carpet together, which is just about the cutest thing ever.

Tracee grew up going to school in New York City and Switzerland, and started modeling when she was still in her teens. After graduating from Brown University in 1994, she landed a breakout role on the UPN series Girlfriends, which ran from 2000 to 2008. She's since won several NAACP Image Awards for her work on the ABC family sitcom Black-ish.
