We have to understand the following facts so that we save more, not spend more on our grocery shopping’s. 1. Our perception on Supermarket – Majority of the supermarkets’ decor consists of concrete floors, exposed beams, and simple metal shelves displaying the products. Seeing the appearance, we frame an opinion that supermarkets don’t waste money on decor or carpeting, and they utilize the money in giving unbelievable discounts. Savings money on decor has no relation with offerings; therefore we have to be sure of what we are buying and in what quantity, so that the fear of missing a great price doesn’t bound us from buying a quantity which we don’t need. Therefore, making a purchase decision in temptation would end up in spending more rather than saving more.2. You are already paying Extra – Remember, as you walk out of your house to shop from a supermarket, you automatically get into a mode of spending more, which can be calculated in a form of petrol and parking cost. Some supermarkets even offer yearly privilege cards to customers, for which, they collect a certain amount in advance from the customers. The card is further utilized during the year for purchasing products from the supermarket. Using the privilege strategy, supermarkets ensure that customers buy products from their store, despite being costly on several days during the year.   Therefore, the annual subscription offset some of your savings which otherwise could be saved by comparing local grocery stores.3. Beware of COMBO Deals – At times fear of missing out, drives a lot of irrational buying of products; and the tagline “limited period offer” forces you to pull the trigger on a purchase, even if you are not sure whether you need it or not.A Combo deal consists of a set of products offered at discounted prices, but it is not necessary that all the products combined in the deal are actually required by the customer; therefore a customer buying a combo tends to buy products, which were not actually required and increased his expenditure.4.

Comparing per unit grocery prices would help you save more not spend more.  Be sure of your needs, don’t get enticed by offerings and take informed decisions on your purchases to save more.
