Tips to make your grocery shopping easier.

So you head to the supermarket, and you promised yourself that you will only stick to your budget.  Unfortunately, promises are made to be broken.

Before you prepare your grocery list, check first on your stocks, this is to make sure that you are not over stocking.

When making your list, write them down accordingly.  Do not mix them up.  This will make your grocery time more efficient, since items in the supermarket are set in one area.  This will also make you avoid looking at other items and ending up buying them.

Keep your receipts everytime you shop, this will help as a guide for prices and see if there is a trend of overspending.

Take advantage of their promos only if it's necessary.  If the items on promos are non-perishable or dry items, grab it, since you can just put them on stock and there is no need for you to buy the item the next time you do your shopping.



Recycle the containers, products in sachets or plastic packages like shampoos are less expensive compared to those that are in plastic containers.

If you have discount cards, make use of them. And check how many points you earned, this can also help to buy items by using your points.

Do not bring the kids when you are doing the grocery. Do I need to explain more?

And lastly, bring the right amount of money, having more on your pocket means you'll buy more.  Being aware that you only have enough will restrict you from buying things that you don't really need.

I hope this will somehow help as a guide when you do your shopping.
