SOS Tips: Smart grocery shopping
3. Go for non-processed foods and … cook
Meals that are cooked using fresh, non-processed products not only taste better, but are also healthier options for your body and your wallet.
Instead of spending $2 on 200g of potato chips, it makes more sense to spend it on 5kg (25 times more) of potatoes!
4. Adopt a sensible attitude at the grocery store
- Don’t do your grocery shopping on an empty stomach, as this could result in impulsive buys that are dictated by hunger pangs.
- The private label items are usually priced better than the bigger name brands.
- Check out the foods that are placed on the top and bottom shelves. This is where you’ll normally find better-priced products.
