Yeah! It's 25 December 2012, MERRY CHRISTMAS Everyone!
How are you today?? Wish all the joy and happiness always surround all of us, family, friends, and everyone! ^^
In this very very SPECIAL DAY, how about more tips to "GET CLOSER TO BE A SMART SHOPPER?"
Yep! Check these out ;)
• Always use a shopping list. Planning your menus in advance will make it easy to
create the list.
• Try to shop when you are not hungry. This will help you
avoid unplanned purchases.
• Compare national brand's sale price with store brands.
Both are often on sale at the same time.
• Oftentimes, convenience foods cost more than similar foods prepared at home.
• Buy foods you like when they are on sale and in season.
• Compare the cost of convenience foods
with the same foods made from scratch.
• Take the time to compare fresh,
frozen, and canned foods to see which
is cheapest.
• Buy products when they are on sale for
later use.
• Stock your kitchen with time savers that are packed with nutrients!
Look for fat-free or low-fat and low-sodium items and get foods that you can make
and serve in a hurry such as:
- Canned or frozen fruit
- Canned or frozen vegetables and beans
- Canned or frozen meat, poultry, and fish
- Canned soups or stews
- Whole-grain bread or crackers
- Enriched or whole grain pasta
- Enriched or brown rice
- Cheese
- Yogurt
• Prepare enough for another meal so you have leftovers. For example, serve a
baked chicken one evening and use the leftovers to make sandwiches or casseroles.
• Make a big bowl of salad for dinner and take the leftovers for lunch the next day.
How's it?? Does knowing more these tips make you fell like one step closer to be a SMART SHOPPER? or perhaps you are ready to Shop SMARTLY and WISELY? ^^
Hope those points up there are helpful for you all.
Last but not least, again, MERRY CHRISTMAS Everyone!
Always Stay SMART in SHOPPING!
