Tricks to save at the supermarket

We already know that the easy thing is to go to the nearest supermarket and buy what you like best without comparing prices, but that way you will not be able to save. Visit several supermarkets in the area and compare the products you buy most. There can be big differences.

Do not look at the sale price of the product to compare prices, look at the price per Kilo or liter of product indicated on the shelf label. Sometimes products that seem very cheap are not so much really when compared to other larger containers.

Bet on white brands in supermarkets, since they are not only cheaper, but sometimes they have even higher quality.

In the supermarket nothing is placed randomly. At the height of the eyes are the products with more margin and therefore, that they are most interested in selling. So look at the lower shelves when you look for a product since supermarkets place the brands with which they get less profit.

Finally, always use the loyalty card of the neighborhood supermarket to benefit from discounts and promotions.
