Start with the essentials
Plan around foods your family already eats. Compare the cost per kilogram or litre rather than just the pack price. A larger pack saves money only when you can store it safely and finish it before it spoils.
What you can do
- Check pulses, grains, oil and vegetables at home before writing a shopping list.
- Choose seasonal produce and compare nearby shops without making extra travel more expensive than the saving.
- Use older stock first and review what was thrown away at the end of the week.
Keep in mind
Keep nutrition and food safety ahead of a saving target. Price reductions vary by season and location; no fixed monthly saving is guaranteed.
