Jim Dandy reads the grocery store flyers every week.
While the senior is only shopping for himself — keeping the list fairly straightforward — Macmillan said families may want to plan meals before starting their list.
“I personally start with a meal plan for the week and then figure out what ingredients we need,” she said. “From there I check what’s already in my kitchen and make a list of what I’m missing.”For example, people who have trouble sticking to a list when shopping for groceries in person could consider ordering groceries online, Macmillan said.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
Dandy also pointed out that many grocery stores will advertise a price if a shopper buys multiple of the same item, but if a household can’t consume that much of the product before the best before date then it could just go to waste.However, even though grocery stores advertise the price of two items purchased together, sometimes the unit price for one is the same as buying multiples.
He has also noticed shrinkflation sweeping store shelves as food makers sell smaller product sizes at the same or a higher price. “Most stores have the unit price on the sticker and if not I’ll calculate it myself,” Dandy said. “To my sheer amazement sometimes the bulk size is more expensive, so it’s worth checking.”
