No one wants to overspend on their supermarket shop but to see savings every week, prep starts before you even enter the store.
Lots of people I speak to want to start saving on their grocery shop and therefore instantly hit the ‘sales’ to try and see the results they want. However, this is not always the best method for consistent savings.
I always have my cheapest shop when I plan beforehand. Being organised is how I make sure I’m always getting the best deals; whether that’s using coupons, shopping the sales, checking for cheaper alternative products or ensuring I’m buying my groceries at the cheapest supermarket.
This additional time and effort may seem a lot more complex than just writing a simple shopping list but it really pays when you see how much you can save each week.
As an extreme couponer, my approach may differ from other savers, however, no matter how you approach saving, organisation is key. You should work out a system that works best for you and your family.
To help making a start on ensuring you are always getting your shopping for the best price, here are my top 10 tips for planning your supermarket shop.
1. Create Your List
I plan weekly with my mum. We write a full list which includes our daily plan, for all meals, which we then organise into two sections, essentials and luxuries. With a strict list, you won’t be tempted to buy more that you need.
2. Check the Cupboards
One of the easiest ways to overspend is buying products you don’t need.
Sauces, condiments and basic products such as rice and pasta are the typical culprits for this. If you take the time to inspect what products you have in the house before leaving, you’ll only buy what you need and will instantly save before you’ve even stepped into the supermarket.
3. Know Your Budget
The average household spends £56.80 per week on food, however if you strive to buy your shopping for less, the best advice is to know your budget. It is possible to get your shopping for less but you need to be flexible on the products and brands you buy to support savings.
4. Comparison is Key
Thanks to the current supermarket ‘price war’, supermarket offers and product prices can change on a weekly, or even daily basis. Therefore, it is essential to check your shopping list on a comparison site, such as mysupermarket.co.uk. This ensures that you are always visiting the cheapest supermarket for your shop. This can change week on week, so be prepared to shop around if you want to save.
5. Collecting Coupons
Once you have a shopping list, check for comparison coupons. The best places to look are brand websites and social media channels, in-store supermarket magazines and www.facebook.com/couponshopuk for a list of current supermarket coupons.
6. Swap Shop
It’s not just comparing supermarkets that can save money. Always keep an eye out for alternative, cheaper products that you can swap. New products are launched daily and often are available with an introductory price or coupon, offering the perfect opportunity to try something new and save on your shopping.
7. Time Your Shop
If you know your supermarket well, there will certainly be a preferred time to shop. This could be at the quietest time to ensure you get peace while you add up your shop or, as a must, a few hours before closing allowing you to shop in the reduced section. You may even find a comparison or alternative product that will bring down the cost of your shopping.
8. Eat Before You Shop
A member from Extreme Coupons UK advises eating before you shop. I too follow this rule and regardless whether it is proven or not, it certainly feels easier not to over fill your trolley when you have a full belly.
9. Calculate as You Go
Add up your products as you put them into your trolley. This will ensure you are sticking to your set budget and that there are no nasty surprises at the till, you’ll know as soon as the final tally is in whether you’ve been overcharged anywhere too. This also acts as a perfect deterrent, if you add something that you don’t need and the cost starts to add up, it will be easier to place these products back onto the shelves.
10. Claiming Cashback
Cashback sites are not for everyone as they only offer you savings after you have bought the products. However, if you are willing to make this extra effort they are great for getting money back and adding to the in store savings.

人人都希望每周看到自己的儲(chǔ)蓄增長(zhǎng)而不愿看到自己在超市購(gòu)物方面超支。在你進(jìn)店之前請(qǐng)記得做好準(zhǔn)備。
許多和我聊過(guò)的人說(shuō)他們想開(kāi)始在雜貨店購(gòu)物上省錢(qián)，并且因此立馬減少銷(xiāo)售，以此試圖看到自己想要的結(jié)果。然而，對(duì)于長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的儲(chǔ)蓄來(lái)說(shuō)并不是最好的方法。
當(dāng)我事先準(zhǔn)備好了，我總能花最少的錢(qián)購(gòu)物。事先準(zhǔn)備是說(shuō)如何確保我總是以最優(yōu)價(jià)格成交，是否可以使用優(yōu)惠券、購(gòu)物銷(xiāo)售、尋找便宜的替代品或者確保我是在最便宜的超市購(gòu)物。
所需的這些額外時(shí)間和精力看起來(lái)比僅僅寫(xiě)一張購(gòu)物清單要復(fù)雜得多，但是當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)通過(guò)這種方法可以省不少錢(qián)你便會(huì)覺(jué)得一切都是值得的。
為一個(gè)近乎極端的購(gòu)物券支持者，我的方式可能和其他許多省錢(qián)者不同，然而，無(wú)論你省錢(qián)的方法如何，好好地組織便是關(guān)鍵。你應(yīng)該找到適合你和你的家人的方法。
為幫助你首先確保你每次都能以最好的價(jià)格購(gòu)得商品，以下是超市購(gòu)物計(jì)劃的十大建議：
1. 創(chuàng)建你自己的清單
每周，我都和我媽一起商量計(jì)劃。我們列出一整張清單，這包括我們的日常需求，對(duì)于一日三餐，我們分兩部分列舉：必需品和奢侈品。在清單的嚴(yán)格指導(dǎo)下，你永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)買(mǎi)一些你用不著的東西。
2.檢查你的食櫥
買(mǎi)了自己不需要的商品最易導(dǎo)致超支。
調(diào)味料、調(diào)味品以及日常必需品如大米和面食這些是典型的罪魁禍?zhǔn)?。如果你在出門(mén)前你能夠檢查一下你已經(jīng)有了的東西，那么你就會(huì)只買(mǎi)你需要的東西，這樣便可以在你踏入超市之前便立即為你省下一筆錢(qián)。
3.熟知你的預(yù)算
每周花費(fèi)在食物上的平均支出為56.8磅，然而如果你致力于減少購(gòu)物開(kāi)支，最好的建議是熟知你自己的預(yù)算。減少購(gòu)物開(kāi)支并無(wú)可能，只不過(guò)你需要靈活地對(duì)待你要購(gòu)買(mǎi)的產(chǎn)品和品牌以省錢(qián)。
4.貨比三家是關(guān)鍵
多虧了當(dāng)今超市的“價(jià)格戰(zhàn)”，價(jià)格每周甚至每天都可能會(huì)變動(dòng)。因此，在比較網(wǎng)站如“我的超市購(gòu)”核對(duì)你的購(gòu)物清單很重要。這能夠確保你總是能夠去最便宜的超市購(gòu)物。這可能每周都在變化，所以如果你想省錢(qián)的話(huà)，隨時(shí)準(zhǔn)備貨比三家吧。
5.收集購(gòu)物券
一旦你有了自己的購(gòu)物清單，找到相對(duì)優(yōu)惠的購(gòu)物券。最好可以去這些地方尋找一系列的當(dāng)前超市購(gòu)物券：品牌網(wǎng)站、社會(huì)媒體渠道、超市內(nèi)部雜志以及菲斯布克/購(gòu)物券。
6.以物易物商店
不是只有貨比三家可以省錢(qián)。時(shí)常擦亮眼睛那些可以以物易物的可選擇的更便宜的產(chǎn)品。每天都有新產(chǎn)品出現(xiàn)，并且這些通常都伴隨著試賣(mài)價(jià)和購(gòu)物券，這給我們一個(gè)絕好的機(jī)會(huì)去嘗試一些新的東西，并且在購(gòu)物上省錢(qián)。
7.制定好購(gòu)物的時(shí)間
如果你對(duì)那個(gè)超市了解的話(huà)，你肯定會(huì)有一個(gè)自己最喜歡的購(gòu)物時(shí)間。這可能是在超市最安靜的時(shí)間段，這樣你就能從容地計(jì)算自己所購(gòu)的商品總價(jià)，也可能是超市關(guān)門(mén)前幾小時(shí)(強(qiáng)力推薦)，這樣你就能在減價(jià)區(qū)購(gòu)物。你甚至可能找到和之前放入購(gòu)物車(chē)的相類(lèi)似或可替代的產(chǎn)品，從而減少購(gòu)物支出。
8.在購(gòu)物前吃點(diǎn)東西
來(lái)自“英國(guó)極端優(yōu)惠券”的成員建議去商店前先吃點(diǎn)東西。我也同意這一點(diǎn)，無(wú)論它被證實(shí)與否，當(dāng)你感覺(jué)飽的時(shí)候更不易過(guò)度購(gòu)物。
9.當(dāng)你結(jié)賬時(shí)計(jì)算你要付的賬
當(dāng)你把東西放進(jìn)購(gòu)物車(chē)時(shí)請(qǐng)計(jì)算你要付的錢(qián)。這能夠確保你在預(yù)算之內(nèi)，并且，這會(huì)避免付賬時(shí)意外尷尬的情形，在總賬里你也可以知道你是否在哪里有超支。這也是一個(gè)完美的遏制，如果你買(mǎi)了自己不需要的東西花銷(xiāo)便增加了，把這些產(chǎn)品放回貨架將很容易。
10.要求返還現(xiàn)金
現(xiàn)金返還并不是適用于每個(gè)人，因?yàn)樗麄冎辉谀阍谒麄兡抢镔?gòu)物之后才提供。然而，如果你愿意去試試，這也是返得現(xiàn)金的好機(jī)會(huì)，并且可以節(jié)省店內(nèi)花費(fèi)。
