Tips For Shopping Success

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.
