Shop Smart

Supermarkets are designed to make us buy a lot. From the music, to the shelf placements and the special offers, everything there is shouting: Buy! Buy! Buy! So when you go to the supermarket, be prepared with a list. And stick to it! Also never shop hungry, because that can be a costly mistake. Look carefully for items and go for generic store brands. Often they are the same as name brands without the fancy packaging. Read special offers carefully. They aren't always what they seem to be!
