During weekly grocery shopping, it is quite easy to go over budget. Often, the best strategy is to approach it with a predetermined attack plan. We offer our best six budgeting advice for the "Big shop" in this week's blog!

Coupons and loyalty cards

Make sure you have your coupons or loyalty cards before you go shopping. Make sure your loyalty applications are stocked with coupons, or use them to guide your shopping list.

Purchase once

Buy just once a week, if at all possible.

If you shop more than once a week, you will probably spend more money. You may end up buying extras on impromptu shopping visits for one or even two items. Not to add, your transportation expenses will be reduced.

Shopping bags

Bringing your own shopping bags will help you avoid spending money on plastic bags.

When it comes time to replace your reusable shopping bags, choose for robust ones that may initially cost more but will endure longer.

Fooled by the offers

Be careful of special offers.

There is no point in buying something that sits rotting in your fridge or at the back of the cupboard until it expires, and definitely don’t buy a new product in bulk if you’ve never tried it before. Don’t buy things just because they are on offer; ask yourself if you really need them and will use them. Visit Findit.lk To find best supermarket offers in sri lanka

Price comparison

Be aware of prices and do a supermarket shop comparison.

Often, there will be a significant difference.
