7. EXPIRY DATES
Supermarkets & stores
position the products to
expire soon in the front of
the display or shelf. Choose
fresh products with longer
expiry dates usual found
right the back of the self or
the products might expire
even before they are been
used.

8. PRODUCT SCANNER
Food products and other
items like fresh food and
meat is sold based on their
expiry date. If the sell by
date approaches the food
might be available at much
discounted price then it is
been marked. Avoid buying
products which are very
close to use by date.

9. LOYALTY PROGRAMS
Many grocery stores have
customer loyalty programs
which offer their loyal
customers with specials
deals and discounts. Always
keep an eye of prices if
another store is offering you
a better price for the same
products.

10. BUY IN BULK
The items with a longer
shelf life can be bought in
bulk or items other than
fresh groceries such as
toiletries can be stocked up.
Try searching for better
deals online as sometimes
stores have some offers
only limited to online buyers
only.

11. SHOPPING WHEN HUNGRY
Always have a healthy
snack or eat something
before you enter your store.
Shopping on a full stomach
will ensure that you only buy
the stiff that you need.
When people are hungry
they often shop for more
things and studies have
been conducted proving this
habit
