How to save in your supermarket store
There are many ways to save at your grocery store.
You may notice yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they have been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you will need 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 rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Starting your own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching the “best” or “prestige” products and instead going for “their” or value type lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run weird fruit and veg schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering 5kg boxes of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you are on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
In addition, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the household support fund.
Bar Arie fans are thrilled to learn they can swap their favorite treat for a lesser-known imitation to save some money.
