Simple Grocery Shopping Tips When Shopping For Your Family
1. Make a weekly meal plan before you shop so you know what to buy.
2. Make a grocery list. It helps you concentrate on your shopping, keeping you away from impulse buying. Don't forget the list, and remember to bring a pencil to mark off items.
3. Eat before you shop. If you're hungry, you tend to buy more.
4. Look for the sale items, a few cents of savings on a number of purchases will add up to dollars in our pockets by the end of the month. Every penny counts!
5. Check the advertisements. Some food items are sold below cost to lure you into the store.
6. Look for coupons and keep them in your bag. Do it!
7. Check your cupboards before you shop to avoid double purchases.
8. Shop at discount stores and shop fewer times a week. The less you shop the less chance you have of impulse buying.
9. Shop alone, if possible. 'Helpers' tend to buy too much 'fun food.'
10. Check the 'Cost Per Unit', often marked on the shelves of grocery stores. Sometimes packaging is deceptive and makes it difficult to decide which is be the best deal. Sometimes larger sizes are not as economical especially if food spoils before you can use it.
11. Check store brands, they often cost less.
12. Check the lower shelves, less expensive brands are often stocked on lower shelves.
13. Pick the fruit and veggies at the back of the pile, they usually are the freshest.
14. Check the best before date. Pick the product that will last the longest.
15. Read the packaging date of the meat. Avoid old meat, for food safety.
16. Read labels of new foods, avoid products with too many words you can't pronounce. They tend to be less healthy.
17. Cereals with less sugar and more fibre are better for the family.
18. If Fresh fruits and vegetables are too expensive, buy frozen.
