Default What are currently your best saving tips ?
In article ompomelet-FD38C3.20080627052010@news-
wc.giganews.com, says...
Take cash and a written list to the grocery store.
Leave debit cards, credit cards and the checkbook home when you go
shopping. Stick to the list and don't browse.


OTOH, being flexible about how much to spend that trip can mean
stocking up on whatever item happens to be on sale that week.

It just takes the self-discipline to focus on basic items that
you will eventually need, anyway. Which will save money in the
long-term, by avoiding purchases at regular non-sale prices.

Although certain items at my local supermarket are never on sale,
but are still cheaper than stuff that is. Such as store-brand
baked beans, for example.
