Since last year, the cost of living has gone up. Many of us are having difficulties in making ends meet. We have to shop for our daily groceries and yet we have to save as we purchase them.
Here are some tips and ideas that I am sharing today that you can follow:
Item No 1 – Bread
Have you ever thought that buying a large loaf of bread can actually save you some money? Yes, it’s true. The next time when you pick up a loaf, do consider buying a large loaf. The expiry is 5 days, so you may refrigerate it if you cannot finish within that time.
Item No 2 – Cooking Oil
The price of cooking oil has gone rocking high since last year! Do consider buying a 1 kg or 2 kg bottle instead of a ½ kg bottle. You will see the difference.
Item No 3 – Toothpaste
Toothpaste is an essential item for all of us. We definitely need this item when we buy our groceries. There is a great saving when you buy a 225 grams one or a twin pack of toothpaste. You can compare it with a 175 gram one.
Item No 4 – Laundry Detergent
When you need to pick up a detergent, it’s cheaper if you buy a refill and pour it into your original bottle or container. I am sure many of us have not tried this before. Do check out the price of a refill today!
Item No 5 – Deodorant
Did you know when you need to buy deodorant, it’s way much cheaper when you buy a twin pack? Purchasing deodorants 2 in 1 pack gives us a higher savings. No wonder I see many shoppers doing so.
Item No 6 – Toothbrush
Here is another item to consider when you buy a toothbrush. Toothbrushes are sold individually and in a pack of 2 or 3 as well. When purchasing toothbrushes, it is definitely a great saving to buy it in a pack!
Item No 7 – Spices
Have you ever thought of buying spices like chilli powder, curry powder, coriander and fennel powders in a bigger pack? Well here is something to think about. If you buy in bigger packs, you will be able to save more. It would be a great idea to keep the excessive spices in your refrigerator.
Final thoughts:
If you change your shopping pattern by buying larger or bigger packs, you will realise that you have actually saved quite a lot. Do give it a try today. Happy Shopping!
