Cut your food shopping bills by making a list .Supermarkets are out to tempt us into extra buys . How many times have you got to the checkout to discover you have spent more than you meant to ? That 2 for 1 price offer seemed such a bargain at the time ! weve all done it , but if you make a list- and stick to it -youll be quids in, Alternatively ,try out some online food shopping .There is nomally a delivery fee, unless you have a huge order, but you could still save £££s as you wont have a trolley to sneak extras in to !

I believe if you have a strong mind set that when you go to the grocery store, you will get what you need first and see how much you have left over to spend on what you want.Yes you are right on the fact that if you make a list it will save you money, because you actually know what your getting instead of winging it. The internet is nice to use if you have a busy life style and need to shop online, but I believe that getting up to go to the store isn't that difficult and that it provides you with minimal social interaction Witch is nice for people that don't see much sunlight.

I watch my list and the prices very closely. Many times they have a sale - 10/$10 or soemthing like that or if there is a sale price marked other than on the product its self... I always watch as they ring up as nearly every time I check out there is an item that rings up higher than what it was marked. I stop them, make them check and I am usually right. However, there are times that it was not marked correctly on the shelf or some tiny little ittybitty writing made it not waht I thought and when it rings different I make them check and if it is over what I thought I tell them to put it back, that is not what it said on the shelf. THey look at me disgustedly, but I don't care. It is my money they are spending, so I will spend it as I see fit. They can get disgusted all they want. I have hated this scan pricing since it came out. Only ones it is easier on is the cashiers and the store as they can charge more and if the customer doesn't catch it, they make more money.
