Should I Shop Around?
There’s always so many offers on in the supermarkets today that my head is quickly in a spin and I find myself picking products of the shelves and thinking, but am I getting the best deal? BOGOF – no I’m not being rude, but between Buy One, Get One Free, Three for Twos and discounted products there are some pretty good savings to me made. The question I ask myself whilst shopping in one supermarket however, is are there even bigger savings to be made in the other? What if I’m spending more for my shopping in Tesco than I would for the same items in Sainsburys, or vice versa. Now, taking this to the extreme, I could take my supermarket shopping extremely seriously, pricing everything up in each store before committing myself and then buying each product in the store where it’s available for the cheapest price – phew! But, as I don’t have the luxury of all that time and I think it’s a little over the top, I don’t quite take things that far. Having said that, I am more careful with my money these days. For example, I know which toiletries I use regularly and how often they tend to be on offer in Boots, so I want until there are 3 for the price of 2 and then I stock up. I also save up all the points on my Advantage Card and have great fun seeing just how much stuff I can get for ‘free’ spending my points on all the offers in store. You know what they say, look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves! With this in mind I’m off to the shops in search of this week’s specials!
