Grocery card and coupons

A grocery card will give you reductions on the cost of items, so don't forget it at home.  Coupons may give reductions, but make sure they actually do.  Sometimes coupons are just good advertisements which don't help you save money.  In addition, when there are really good bargains, you can expect prices of other product to rise slightly, to balance out the cost of the deals.

Hunger – like taking your kid with you

Don't shop when you are hungry.  Everything the store has to offer will seem delicious. You'll just "have to buy" your favorite crisps and chocolates.  In short, you are thinking out of your stomach.

Use you sense and plan in advance

The more you think about what you get and keep to a list you have arranged in advance, the less it will cost.  Calculate the cost of what you are getting, make sure you will eat it before it goes bad, and watch out for "bargains" which don't actually help you save money. Sensible shopping is the best way to save money.
