We all have to do regular grocery shopping. From day to day things, our eatables and our sanitary everything is included in this. From past 17 years I am doing this job perfectly and I have some handy tips which can help others too, for grocery shopping.
1, First and most important rule always make a list. You should write it down what are the things which is needed so that you dont o to purchase anything. Also if you have a proper list you will not waste your money in buying unwanted and extra stuff.
Do check the package and expiry dates of all the items, so that you know you are using a good fresh product not expired material.
If you buy in bulk you can save lot of money and also your time. Generally all the grocery stores run different offer in which you can buy in bulk and can get discount. Check all the offers and also compare the prices of other stores and you will surely buy products of good quality and reasonable prices.
Be more careful when you buy perishable items, milk, bread cake, cheese, juice etc. have small life so double check their dates and then buy. You can use long life powdered milk and juice which have long life, these products can be stored in bulk also.
If you have a small family do not buy too many fruits at once. Fruits are very nutritious and good but if you eat them fresh. If you eat fruits which are too old you will not get the taste and nor the nutrition. Yes fruits like pomegranate, half ripe banana, oranges etc. can be kept for some time easily.
Always keep your pocket and budget in mind, its easy to spend money and buy too many items, but if you realize later that you have gone out of your budget. All will be waste.
If you have a big family then you can buy fresh vegetables and fruits from local bazaar and can get your money saved.
