Hunger crisis, unexpected guests, money trouble and natural disasters come with little or no warning. Stocking up on the right non perishable SOS foods will help you weather the storm with less stress. In my experience even if you have 5-6 of these stocked up in your kitchen at one time, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll survive the night!

GIVE THE STORE BRANDS A CHANCE Brand names are often no better than generic, and you’re paying for all the advertising they do to have a brand name. Give the store brand a try, and often you won’t notice a difference.

HUnger makes most a monster Got a bunch of leftover ingredients (half an onion, a bit of tomato, some rice, a few other veggies?) … combine them for a quick meal, so that these don’t go to waste before your next grocery trip. The more you can stretch the food, and the less

it’s not trash, but pure gold

It’s true: when you’re hungry, you want to buy all kinds of junk. You end up spending your share for the entire week at the store. Eat a good meal first, and you’ll be more likely to stick to your list.

you’ve heard this a million times

buy in bulk when it makes sense

Junk food not only costs a lot of money for about zero nutrition, but it makes you gain a couple of kilos with every packet of chips. Talk about a bad deal!Junk food not only costs a lot of money for about zero

store saving cards come in handy

before it’s late, write it down

It’s not too much of a task. Just remember to carry your store card in your wallet everytime you go out to shop. These can add up to big savings over the long run.

When you run out of something, don’t leave it to your memory. Jot it down immediately, and you’ll never have to run back to the store because you don’t have eggs.

supermarkets want to make us spend They waste gas, and almost inevitably, you buy more than that one item. If you plan ahead, make a weekly menu, and shop with a list, this should drastically reduce the number of trips you make for a small number of items.

is it really a bargain? Most of us know just because a supermarket lists an item as “on offer”, doesn’t mean it’s cheap. The trouble has been sorting awesome offers from pants promos.

Don’t be a waster The likelihood is you’re throwing away a lot of food unnecessarily. ’Use-by’ dates mean chuck food away after this date, as otherwise it’s a health risk. ‘Best before’ dates mean food is usually still OK to eat after this date, so don’t waste

Before It’s Too Late

THINGS YOU DON’t NEED!

Plan a leftover night or two, and make sure you use up all the leftover food in your fridge.

When you see there’s only 2 spoons of sugar left, put it on your list. Cause when you run out, you will be having bitter morning coffee.

STOCK UP ON SALES

The Leftover Magic

Groceries are fresher in the morning and there is more scope to bargain in the evenings

(this applies to only vendors)

Go to the store knowing exactly how much you can spend

BUDGET

Don’t believe the brand hypnosis. Whether it’s bacon, biscuits, baked beans or bolognese sauce, if something costs more it’s got to be better, right? Wrong. Shops’ phrasing and promotional language hypnotises us into thinking most costly is best. While the packaging looks more opulent, look beneath to the actual product you’re getting and sometimes you won’t be able to tell the difference.

Try dropping one brand level on everything. See if you can tell them apart. If not, stick with the cheaper option.

Words like ‘finest’ or ‘extra special’ imply it’s a treat.

Products like McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes or Kellogg’s cereal.

These tend to be presented in a similar way to manufacturers’ brands, but with the supermarket’s own take on it.

With names like ‘basic’ or ‘savers’, the presentation is deliberately stark to imply it’s cut back to the bones.

As you move up the brand level costs increase, as do presentation and sometimes ingredients. Often a manufacturers’ brand and own brand may well be made in the same factory by the same people (though it’s tough to prove with specific products).

Groceries are fresher and cheaper in the local markets and roadside vendors. Compare prices of the same item in local shops v/s the supermarket and then decide for yourself.
