#5 Save money by eating before going to the grocery store
You may have been aware of this before, but research has actually proven that you are more susceptible to overbuying items when you go to the store hungry, and this includes items that are not food! This is probably linked to the fact that when you are famished, you are more likely to act on impulse. In the end, you will be prone to adding anything that seems appealing to you at the moment to the cart.
From processed foods to pre-packaged ones, you will end up spending way more money than needed and accidentally ruining your health as well. Do yourself a favor and eat before you go grocery shopping!
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.
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!!!
