How to save money during shopping?



How to save money during shopping?

Nice Question! Isn’t it? Here I’ll discuss mainly Grocery shopping tips.
  1. Be active, Cook by yourself!!! Its better not to buy processed food they are overpriced and unhealthy. Also, be creative and do some do-it-yourself (DIY) stuff. It will save a lot of money and satisfy your creativity. E.g. Instead of buying Popcorn I always pop it. freshly made popcorns are just wonderful!!
  2. Learn to calculate unit prices of food.
  3. Reduce, reuse and recycle: don’t throw anything. If banana is too ripe to eat apply it on your face and hairs. It will give unbelievable natural shine to your skin.
  4. Keep an eye on nice offers. Collect coupons and use them wisely, It will save a lot of money.
  5. Do not fall into marketing traps. Prioritize your needs and wait till you get good value for your money and then buy it.
  6. Always try to buy staples like rice, uncooked Pasta, veggies, fruits etc.
  7. Make a practical budget for shopping. See how much you spent in last three week and make a practical weekly budget. Analyse Price to quality/utility ratio before spending money.
  8. Make a master shopping list. It includes the things that you buy frequently.
  9. Never ever waste your money for buying processed food, soda, juices and other cold drinks, individual snack servings; health drinks protein substitutes and vitamin tablets or capsules. There you will spend twice, first when you buy them, second when you visit doctor. Instead of health drinks or food supplements, eat nuts, dry fruits, fresh fruits etc.  
  10. Try to remain healthy and happy, healthy life style is always cheap and enjoyable than medicines.
