How to Save Money on Groceries: 8 Useful Tips

1. Being a Smart Shopper by Using AppsSo maybe you didn’t knew that nowadays you can order your groceries online. The ordered

2. Buying Groceries in Bulk

This is nothing new to us. We all know that buying in bulk results in more saving. That goes

same for groceries as well. So if you have enough storage space at your home, it is always

smart to buy items which you will definitely be using in large number.

3. Paying in Cash

While paying for groceries, always pay in cash. That way you will physically know how much

you are spending. Many times while using credit or debit cards we tend to shop for items

which we hardly need. But since we are not giving cash we tend to overlook them. Again

paying in credit, will incur service charges. So it does makes sense to pay cash at the

counter.

4. Having a Loyalty Card

Nowadays all big retailer and hypermarkets have their own loyalty cards which offer the

consumers loyalty points and give buyers more shopping credit than what they have paid. If

you have retail store where you go every month for groceries, it is better to get yourself a

loyalty card.

5. Stay Clear of The Attractive ShelvesMarketers very cleverly decorate their shelves with items you don’t need. Especially near

the cash counter, you will find that items of lower value are stacked in large quantities like

chocolates and sweets. These items are often bought by the consumers not out of need, but

out of fluke. Many times sales people also will try to sell stuff that you will not need, so stay

clear of them.

6. Make a List

It is always best to go to the store with a plan in mind and shopping list in hand. That way

you can keep track of the items that you are purchasing. Seeing all items on display can be

very tempting so having a plan really helps.

7. Keeping Track of Prices in The LocalityMost localities today, have multiple grocery shops, retail outlets, and other small store. It is

always a good idea to know the prices of these shops. Prices vary from shop to shop and

from place to place. Again different hypermarkets offer different types of discounts all-

around the month. So keeping a tab of them will help in getting the same groceries at lesser

price.

8. Limit the Shopping FrequenciesShopping groceries frequently not only time consuming but is quite heavy on the pocket as

well. Fix a day of the month, which can be a weekday or a weekend when you will buy all

your month’s groceries at once. Buying groceries together at once will not only save your

time, but you are sure to get discounts from the shop.

So, this is how to save money on groceries. Hope these little tips will help you.
