Financial Expert Shares Tips To Cut Grocery Bill In Half: Mrs. Mummypenny knows her way around saving cash. She happens to be a popular UK financial expert. Now she’s dishing out tips on how to slash grocery bills in half.
Here are her 10 tips:
- Always have a shopping list and stick to it – but before you do, make sure you have raided the cupboards and fridge freezer to see what you can use up for the week ahead
- Choose a half-size cart – there is less room to fill with impulse purchases and things you don’t need
- Walk the supermarket in a specific order – start at the reduced section, then visit the frozen food aisles, then the canned products and finish at the fresh foods
- Always look at the lowest level foods – the non-branded products are likely to be lower down and out of the eye line
- Always look at the unit pricing – displayed on the shelf edge label. Promotions on smaller-sized products can make the cost cheaper compared to bigger items
- The frozen food aisle is your friend – these products are frozen at the point of picking which means nutrients are immediately locked in and last longer as well as being better value than fresh
- Try batch cooking – rather than making it for the exact number of household members, double it and freeze it
- Opt more for meat-free recipes – some meat alternatives can be cheaper than meat, and products such as lentils or tofu are great alternatives while being substantial and better value for money.
- Make the most of shopping vouchers – apps such as Green Jinn and Shopmium offer heavily discounted items you can use in store
- Sign up to supermarket loyalty schemes and apps to earn rewards and get great discounts
