How to save money at your grocery store
THERE ARE lots of ways to save on your groceries.
You can look for yellow or red stickers on products that show when they have been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you will have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make hasty purchases when you get to the grocery store.
Buying your own brand can also be an easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills.
This means abandoning “better” or “luxury” products and instead opting for “premier” or value-type lines.
Many supermarkets run unstable vegetable and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they are misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not program, offering 5kg boxes of fruit and veg for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and are a parent, you could get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Additionally, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Families Support Fund.
While another wrote: “That would be my idea of heaven, well done.”
