Try the Underdogs

When it comes to food shopping, we tend to be creatures of habit. We normally opt for the same stores to buy our groceries, as this is what we’re used to.

Or, quite reasonably, we’ll go to the supermarket round the corner from where we live, because it’s easy to get to (even if it’s a convenience store with crazy mark-ups).

But, to get the best savings possible, we should leave our comfort zone and try budget chains like Lidl and Aldi. They offer some brilliant deals for those who are willing to try something different. The product quality is excellent and the prices are great! The only problem is you are likely to go looking for cornflakes and come back with a chainsaw :-).

Same goes for shopping at local markets when they’re on as well as smaller, independent stores. If we shop around and we can get some serious savings!
