Shopping habits of a skinflint

Having just completed my shopping I thought I would share some tips with you all on how to save a bit of money. After all, who doesn't like saving money? So firstly, never shop hungry. It's a proven fact if you're hungry you're likely to spend more. Now you have to make sure you're not that full that you come back with nothing, you don't want the kids starving because you stuffed a full english in before you went shopping! Secondly, go with a plan. Even if it's a rough plan of the weeks meals that you can flexibly change if there are reduced items you could put to use instead. If you are flexible on when you can shop this makes it even cheaper as supermarkets tend to reduce their stock on an evening. Lidl is the best for reduced items as they don't leave it until the last minute to reduce stock. Never fall foul to the tricks of the trade like the end aisle offers that are in your face. These items are most likely more expensive than the supermarkets own brand. How many of us are running a wholesalers? Don't fall victim to the buy 2 get the 3rd free offers or the likes, you don't really want 3 washing up liquids taking up room in your cupboards do you! That's it for this week I can't give all my tricks away at once. Hope this helps some of you save some money.
