Tips to save those pennies in supermarkets include the tried-and-true "Downshift" challenge; opt for less expensive store brands over premium names, which could potentially slash up to 30% off your bill. Venture beyond your usual supermarket path – compare deals across aisles and utilise comparison platforms like Trolley.co.uk to snag the best bargains.
However, bypass the neighbourhood convenience stores for the larger supermarkets to avoid higher price tags. You might also discover wallet-friendly variants of familiar items tucked away in the international foods or baby product sections.
Lastly, be on the lookout for those yellow sticker bargains - they'll not only save you a few quid, but you'll also be doing your bit to reduce food waste. We've got more supermarket money-saving tips for you right here.
