Money Saving Tips That Really Help You Save Money
Filipinos from all walks of life has certainly been affected by the ongoing food and oil crises. I consider writing an article on money saving tips as my own little way of helping ease the burden of my countrymen. Besides one of the main theme of my blog is money saving tips.
These are some money saving tips that I have experienced. I would like to share these to you.
1.) Be a “bulk” buyer – If you compare prices in your local grocery store buying bigger is always better. Notice the difference in price per gram between a 50 gram sachet of detergent powder and 250 grams. This fact is not even concealed by the products themselves. You will see a label that you will save a lot more if you buy the bigger item. This drives home to you a very simple principle, buying bigger is always better. You should avoid small repacks of certain items. This money saving tips is one of the most important tips to bear in mind.
2.) Buy from industrial suppliers – Companies get cheaper supplies because they buy in bulk or they manufacture their own. I got this idea when I first implemented the “buy in bulk” principle. I was thinking of buying a sack of detergent but I couldn’t find it in the grocery stores. I did some research and found out that you can get cheap detergent from laundry shops. The price of detergent is very cheap for them since they make their own soap. The quality of the soap that they make is more or less the same with commercial soap.
3.) Where you buy from matters – Previously, I discussed little bit about some money saving tips in my other articles. But that deals with not buying in a convenience store. In this series of money saving tips, the third tip I am giving is that you should be wise in choosing where you buy certain items.
For example, vegetables and meat products are definitely cheaper in the wet market than in your favorite grocery store so it is advisable to shop there for these kinds of items. The reason for this is that they buy directly from the farmers and fishermen. Dry goods, canned foods and other items is definitely cheaper in the grocery stores because the grocery stores buys directly from the manufacturers in whole sale.
