Top tips for saving on groceries



Because of inflation and high interest rates, many of us are struggling to pay our bills. While there are savings that can be saved by reducing the number of restaurant meals and streaming services we subscribe to, there are some essential expenses, including groceries. Here are four ways to get the most out of your supermarket shopping.

Pay attention to products on sale



Familiarize yourself with the promotional programs at your local grocery store. Many retailers have regular sales, which can be very useful for saving money when shopping. Provigo, for example, offers "price drops" on more than 400 products every four weeks, i.e. they reduce the price of certain items so that you can get the most out of your daily purchases. Stock up on items you use regularly when they are subject to such a "price drop" or other sale. Grocery stores are also reducing the price of products that are close to their expiration date. The food is always good; Just eat them quickly, or freeze them, to keep them fresh.


Buy in bulk



In general, you will save money by buying large format products. If you have the storage space, stock up on toiletries and other household items. If your space is limited, consider sharing the cost and contents of large sets with friends or family.You can also buy fresh fruits and vegetables or protein-rich foods in bulk and freeze the part of them that you won't be able to use right away. To make sure you save money when buying in bulk, compare the unit price of packages of different sizes.


Compare prices



Scan printed or online store coupons and flyers to find the best deals on the products you need before you go shopping. Remember to consider the value of your time and travel costs such as fuel or public transit, so you don't have to go to too many stores to find the best deals. However, be aware that many grocery stores match the price of current sales at their competitors and thus allow you to get everything you are looking for in one place.


Use loyalty programs



If you shop at a grocery chain with a loyalty program, like PC Optimum, you can use the points you earn to get instant savings on your bill. Some of these programs allow you to earn points at affiliated retailers or by using a branded bank or credit card.
