I don’t really love grocery shopping but then, every
housewife has to do this weekly or monthly grocery
shopping trip in order to supplement the kitchen and
household supplies that had ran out of stock.
I have to admit that grocery shopping is a very tiring
task but it has its own benefits.
You gotta look into your fridge and food cabinet.
Search for those necessary daily required ingredients that
had ran out of stock or “going to be” out of stock.
Jot down in your shopping list and stick it to the fridge
door with a magnet so that you can add in the list later.
In addition to it, hunt down the recipes that you intend to
cook for the week.
List out the ingredients that you do not have in hand into
the grocery shopping list.
I was scolded for not doing this. Learnt my lesson.
Look out for printed coupons in newspapers, magazines
or online shopping websites.
Cut out or print out the coupons so that you can use them
for discounted items or get deduction for the total bill at
the payout cashier.
Some shopping websites do offer discounted vouchers
for a low price.
For example: Purchase a voucher worth $10 but pay $6.
You get to save $4 for your grocery shopping trip.
Daddy is pretty GOOD at this stuff.
Do not go grocery shopping with an empty stomach.
Have a quick snack or breakfast at home before
launching your trip.
Do not spend money on outside food especially
fastfood which is expensive and unhealthy too.
We always have some tuna/hotdog sandwiches or fried
rice at home.
It is wise to check the prices of the items you intend to
purchase at the Barcode Checker.
Although most price labels are available on the shelf, it is
often incorrect price when you check with the Barcode
Checker. You will be surprised when the items exceed
the price you expected.
It is alright if the price difference is just a few cents but
it is way too much if the item cost a few dollars more.
I do get “Shocking” prices when the cashier scan the
items during payout.
DO check out the expiration date for each and every item
, especially canned food and packaged food.
New stocks are usually stacked at the back of the shelve
while the old stocks are arranged upfront.
I had to “DIG” out the longest expiration date items deep
at the back of the shelves.
Choose the longest expiration date, preferably one year
ahead.
For perishable food such as fruits, eggs and vegetables,
look for fresher items or unripe ones.
Do check each of the eggs before purchase.
I always get broken eggs in a tray and rotten apples in
pre-packed bags.
Don’t be shy or embarrassed when you check your food or
grocery items before purchase.
What are your wise shopping tips?
Do you buy according to your shopping list ?
Do buy EXTRA food or items when there is offer but you
don’t need them?
Do share with me your opinion.
I would love to hear from you. Cheers!!

Whenever I was asked to do the grocery shopping, planning ahead of time is also my way.I also made some list of what to be purchase.
In my list, I put the prioritize item on top before those that are not necessary.
planning ahead is not good and i always keep forgeting the things i want to buy, i need to find another way to make the list, because when i do it on paper of on the phone i feel lazy to get the phone or the paper from my purse, really i feel no i know what i want tno need to waste time and look at the list
