Top 10 Tips for Saving Money on Weekly Groceries
Hey there, savvy shoppers!
We all know how quickly grocery bills can add up, especially when you’re shopping for a family. But don’t worry – saving money doesn’t mean sacrificing quality or taste. With a little planning and some smart strategies, you can stretch your pound further and make your weekly shop a breeze. Let’s dive into our top 10 tips to help you save big on your next grocery run!
1. Make a Meal Plan
Start by planning out your meals for the week. Write down what you’ll need and stick to it. This helps avoid impulse buys and ensures you’re only purchasing what you’ll use.
2. Shop Your Pantry First
Before heading to the shops, check your cupboards, fridge, and freezer. You might already have ingredients you need for meals – saving you money and preventing food waste.
3. Embrace Discounts on Near-Best-Before Items
Don’t shy away from those yellow-sticker deals! At Evans for Everyone, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality discounted food items – perfect for families on a budget.
4. Buy in Bulk (When It Makes Sense)
Items like pasta, rice, and canned goods are often cheaper when bought in bulk.
5. Use a Shopping List
Write down what you need and stick to it. Shopping with a list helps you focus and prevents overspending on items you don’t need.
6. Shop Around for Deals
Did you know some of the best bargains can be found at your local discount stores? Evans for Everyone has weekly specials on everything from groceries to household essentials.
7. Skip the Name Brands
Store brands or lesser-known labels are often just as good as big-name products – and they come at a fraction of the cost. Take the Bonners Range of canned items, Absolutely delicious and a fraction of the price.
8. Shop at the Right Time
Plan your trips during quieter hours when shops are more likely to mark down prices on fresh produce, bread, and dairy.
9. Cook at Home
Home-cooked meals are not only healthier but also far cheaper than takeaways or ready meals. Get the kids involved to make it fun!
10. Join Loyalty Schemes and Follow Bargain Shops Online
Sign up for rewards programmes and keep an eye on your favourite stores’ social media pages. At Evans for Everyone, we regularly post about new deals and promotions – so you never miss a bargain.
