SHOP SAVVY TIPS

-

Don’t forget to take your re-usable bags – lots of them!

Throw an esky in the boot of the car with a couple of ice-bricks to take your frozen goods home.

Be choosy when considerin­g use-by dates. Select products with the longest shelf life so if you don’t use them on Christmas Day, they’ll still be OK to use when entertaini­ng on the days following.

If possible, avoid grocery shopping during peak times. If you go about 8pm or 9pm you’ll avoid the crowds on the roads, in the carpark and in-store.

Write a list of what you need to buy, but be open to making a few last-minute tweaks in-store if you discover a slightly different product on special – gotta love a saving!
