#4 It’s better to be shopping alone
It may be a more boring experience if you go to the store by yourself, but it is better for you in the long run. Going with family or friends means that you are not as focused on the task at hand, which will lead you to pay less attention to what ends up in your cart. This is going to lead you to spend both more time and money at the store than you initially intended.
Save your cash and stick to your schedule better by going alone to the store, so you can be careful with what you’ve planned on buying and how much you allocated from your budget to that grocery run.
I do most of these ideas! You are right about all of these. One more is bottom of shelves can be your best deals. My favorite? Eat before you go to shop, THE BEST IDEA!!!
Good Points. If possible, buy from bins for certain pantry staples, ex: panko, different legumes, rices, flours, sugars etc. If you have a wide selection, there is alway something to conger up that is unique and delicious. I swear by “better than Boullion” You can transform for frozen chicken breasts, refrigerated red peppers, fresh onions a bit of cheese into something spectacular for low cost. Bon Appetit Don’t forget the cream cheese too.
