You&#8217;re not alone. From <a href=\"https:\/\/nimble.com.au\/blog\/how-australians-can-reduce-their-electricity-bills\/\">budgeting for electricity bills<\/a> to budgeting to the supermarket &#8211; there&#8217;s lot to be done!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grocery bills are the number one area you can save on in your weekly budgets. All it takes is a little bit of planning and some great habits to start feeding you and your family for much less.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, here are our top 12 supermarket saving tactics to make it happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Top Tips for Saving on your Grocery Bill<\/h1>\n<h2><b>1) Meal Plan Around Sales Catalogues<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By planning your meals you can quickly get a handle on your grocery budgets. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fixed list of items helps you know exactly what you need to buy for the week and keeps your budget from blowing out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sounds easy enough, right\u2026 but you can also take it a step further by shopping to weekly sales catalogues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meal planning around the best deals can make a huge difference and as an added bonus, you\u2019ll get to try a variety of different foods!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2) Buy Home Brands<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When buying products with plain packaging you can feel like you\u2019re skimping out, but in many cases, home-brand products actually come from the same factories as popular name brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But not all home-brand products measure up in quality. So how do you find the hidden gems?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why not try this:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every shop,\u00a0make a point of picking up one new home-branded item. If you don\u2019t like the taste, putting up with it for a week isn\u2019t the end of the world and you can go back to your old-faithful name-brand. But if you can\u2019t tell the difference, you\u2019ve found one more way to save!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3) Don\u2019t Shop When Everyone Else Does<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopping at peak times equals more and more money spent!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because trying to work your trolley around seven shoppers with prams to get a couple cans of crushed tomatoes makes you rush and decision-making tends to suffer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies show that the quietest days at the supermarket are<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.roymorgan.com\/findings\/6267-best-worst-times-to-do-grocery-shopping-201506020151\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monday and Tuesday<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is worth considering Wednesday for the weekly shop, despite the fact it\u2019s a bit busier. This is the day when supermarkets kick-off their new weekly specials. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great specials sell fast, and missing out will throw your meal planning completely out of whack, so don\u2019t wait.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4) Buy Small for the Little Ones<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you buy fruit, it makes sense that you are drawn to the biggest and juiciest pieces. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing one big apple instead of two smaller ones means you pay for less of the stuff you throw out and get more of the juicy fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you\u2019re buying for packed lunches and snacks, one apple is generally enough, no matter how big or small it is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for the smaller fruit and you\u2019ll get more individual pieces for the exact same price.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5) Only Buy Discounted Items if You Actually Need Them<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specials tempt us but you should always ask: \u201cDo I need this and would I buy this if it wasn\u2019t on sale?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a deal doesn\u2019t contribute to your weekly meal plan, it\u2019s just a waste of money dressed up as savings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6) Stock Up on Specials<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great specials on long-life products don\u2019t mean much if you only buy enough for the next week or so. By the next time you visit the supermarket, the deal will be over and you\u2019ll be back to paying full price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So why not buy a couple months\u2019 worth? You bump up the savings and all you sacrifice in the long run is a bit of pantry space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>7) Use Unit Pricing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By checking the unit price (price per unit of measure) you can compare what you are actually getting for your money \u2018pound-for-pound\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packaging is often designed to make it seem like you\u2019re getting more than you actually are &#8211; especially with the more expensive name-brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study showed that shoppers who were educated about unit pricing <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0969698916301394\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">saved an average of 17-18%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on their weekly shop, so start comparing and saving today.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>8) Never Shop on an Empty Stomach<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research shows that shopping when you\u2019re hungry means you buy more,<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/02\/20\/why-shopping-on-an-empty-_n_6717634.html\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">even when it comes to non-food items<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our hunger tells our brain that you need to buy <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">something,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and it doesn\u2019t really care what.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything looks more delicious when you\u2019re hungry, so you should always shop well-fed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>9) Make Meals from Scratch<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-prepared meals from the supermarket can be tempting for their convenience but they are usually less healthy and always significantly more expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, cook easy-freeze meals in large batches and store in single size portions. After a hard day at work, pulling a homemade meal out of the freezer is just as satisfying as eating a store bought one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>10) Create Seasonal Recipes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fruits and vegetables are cheaper when they\u2019re in season.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tomatoes can cost as little as $3 a kilo in January and as much as $7 in June<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pink lady apples can be less than $2 a kilo in the winter but can spike above $4 in January<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on growing conditions lettuce has shown to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stats.govt.nz\/browse_for_stats\/economic_indicators\/prices_indexes\/seasonal-fluctuations-in-fresh-fruit-and-vegetables.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increase in price by up to 500%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in winter.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tailoring our meal plans to match produce that is<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/seasonalfoodguide.com\/australia-general-seasonal-fresh-produce-guide-fruits-vegetables-in-season-availability.html\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">currently in season<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a natural and healthy way to save throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>11) Spot a Real Deal\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding the best specials is a lot easier when you know what items usually cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not every great deal is printed on a piece of yellow paper with big red capital letters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Coles and Woolworths rarely miss a chance to tell us when they\u2019ve marked something down, the independents can have a less structured approach to pricing and if you\u2019re not across normal pricing you can miss out on some great savings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>12) Shop Alone To Save <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tips above are great, but you will never nail them all unless you shop alone. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst it might be fun to shop with your friends, it\u2019s a surefire way to spend up a storm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as you add another person things get complicated. They will have different ideas of what \u2018important purchases\u2019 are. Even if you\u2019re both trying to be frugal, it won\u2019t be long until there are things in the trolley that weren\u2019t on the list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have any other great tips on how to get the most out of your weekly supermarket budget?
