Not making a list

If you go to the supermarket without a list, you’re asking for trouble. If we don’t have a list, we tend to buy loads of things we don’t really need.

A list is a plan, so before you go out to do the grocery shopping, make a list of the basics that you always need, as well as what you will need for meals for the next week or so. You’ll save a ton of money.

Impulse buying

If you have a list and a plan, you are less likely to make impulse buys. It’s so easy to see something we like and pop it in the cart.

But this way (expensive) disaster lies. Resolve to stick to your list unless you happen to see a particularly good deal on something you actually need.
