Tips For Shopping Success

Here are a few pointers that will save you time, money and frustration when you shop for groceries

Tips For Shopping Success

  • Before you shop, check your supermarket’s website or circular to see what’s on sale for the current week.  Some supermarket websites also post their weekly circulars and let you sign up for weekly emails alerting you to future specials and promotions.

  • Don’t shop without a list!  It’s amazingly easy to forget a crucial ingredient in the dish or dishes you plan to make.  Stores can be quite distracting, and in fact, some supermarkets are organized to make you want to buy items you don’t really want or need.  Simply sticking to your list can save an enormous amount of money.

  • Have a backup meal in mind when you go shopping, just in case your store is out of a crucial ingredient.

  • Don’t food shop when you’re hungry!  You’ll have more trouble resisting the urge to buy the “junk food” that so many of us crave.

I clip coupons from everywhere, but ONLY of the items we use (avoid impulse buying that way). I then sort them by the date they expire and put them into 1 envelope or sometimes clip them together with a binder clip. When Sunday paper comes out, I look at the stores add for what's on sale and match up the coupons I have by what's on-sale. This is great because it allows me to plan my weekly meals (on the fly) by sale items where I have coupons for a double savings. No decision of "gee, what am I going to make for dinner tonight?" :)
