Get Saving In The Kitchen With These Handy Tips

save money while grocery shoppingSaving money is on most people’s mind these days. There are some areas where it is difficult to save money, but there are also areas where savings can be made relatively easily. The kitchen is one such place where you can find savings in many ways. Here are six to get you started.

  1. Shop at the right time

Don’t ever go to the supermarket hungry as you will want to buy everything. Also don’t go shopping until you have planned out meals for the week and you have a list of the ingredients you need. This way you will only buy what is required and, as a result, save money.

  1. Bulk buy and don’t buy often

Buying in bulk will often bring the biggest savings, so it’s a good idea to do a big shop once a month. This allows you to buy in bulk and then only go shopping in between when you need to replenish fresh foods. Going to the supermarket less frequently means less temptation to buy things you don’t really need.

Joanne from kitchenhome.co.uk would tell you that buying in bulk is a great idea as long as you have the space in your cupboards or fridge/freezer as doing so saves you both money and time.

Save Money On Groceries By Shopping At Giant Tiger

Although I buy the majority of my groceries at Superstore, every two weeks when I do my big grocery shop, I always stop at Giant Tiger first.  Because they are a discount retailer, they often have groceries on sale for a lot cheaper than most other grocery stores.  For example, I often buy my yogurt there for less than half the price I would pay anywhere else.  I also find great deals on rye bread, and certain frozen products.  Their eggs are really cheap, too, and their bacon is almost always $2.00 or less for a package.
