Reduce your Food Budget with my 3 Smart Tips.

When shopping, there are a few things to keep in mind. mind to consume better and spend less.

Check out my 3 really effective tips for paying less at checkout.

Track products with a near expiry date

Supermarkets practice discounts of around 50% to sell off their stocks of fresh produce. So be one of the smart consumers who take advantage of it regularly.

Be careful, promotions are rarely indicated on the shelves, do not hesitate to look for these products in the fresh shelves to consume them the same day.

And, once at the checkout, don't forget to tell the cashier to apply the discount correctly, some may forget so be careful.

Take advantage of type 3 promotional offers for the price of 2

These offers are really good for long shelf life products like cans, shampoos, etc.

For fresh products such as meat, it can also be very interesting to buy in bulk. But in this case, freeze immediately what you will not eat right away.

A word of advice though, check the price per kilo or liter before buying to make sure the reduction is worth it...

Know the sales techniques of supermarkets to avoid falling into the trap

- On the shelves , the most expensive and highest-margin products are displayed at eye or hand height. To get good deals, look in the shelves, bend down, scan the good deals. The techniques of the supermarkets are perfectly studied and favor the compulsive purchase of brands, so take your time and open your eyes.

- At the gondola head tempting promotions are displayed. Don't buy headlong, check that you can't find cheaper on the shelf. Brands pay supermarkets to appear at the top of the gondola, so these promotional offers are not always promotional offers.

- Finally, prefer distributor brands or the first prices much cheaper than the big brands for an often equal level of quality.

- The last unstoppable trick to avoid falling into any trap is simply to use a shopping list and stick to it.
