Price is without a doubt the single most important factor when making your supermarket choice, particularly if your budget is tight. Unfortunately, lower prices sometimes mean lower quality, so it pays off to visit a couple of supermarkets or explore their online websites to be able to compare the prices and quality of the products in order to make an informed decision.
Most people consider commercial mail a nuisance, but it can be really useful when it comes to supermarkets. Their monthly or weekly pamphlets will help you keep up to date with your local supermarkets’ deals, letting you know it may be better to stop by supermarket B instead of A this week because it is having a sale on salmon. If you don’t receive pamphlets from your local supermarkets but would like to, you can write them an e-mail or ask them directly when visiting the store.
Another great source of information about weekly offers is the website Tiendeo, which compiles all the supermarket publications, letting you compare the deals.
Every supermarket sells their own brand of products, which are usually cheaper than brand name products. Depending on the supermarket you choose, you can buy a wide variety of the store’s brand products, with the same level of quality as the ones you usually purchase. This will help you save on your grocery shopping.
