Shop alone
Another important rule of grocery shopping: don’t shop with a partner. It might sound weird but the larger your shopping crew, the bigger the size of your cart and the smaller the size of your wallet. It has been scientifically proven that when you shop with a partner or two, you tend to buy beyond what you truly need.
Therefore, if you want to stop wasting your money on unnecessary things, leave your kids and spouse at home and go solo on your next grocery trip.
Don’t shop hungry
You must have heard it before or better yet, learned it on your own: going grocery shopping on an empty stomach is never a good idea. That’s because you’re more likely to buy food you don’t really need, especially the unhealthy kind.
Instead of listening to your stomach’s growls and give in to temptation, do yourself a favor and eat before you shop. It will not only make the shopping experience more comfortable and pleasant but also cheaper.
