Saving Money: The Weekly Big Shop

One of the largest expenses for any family is the week groceries shop. Of course it's a necessary expense but as it forms a big part of your budget cutting down cost in this area can add up to a huge saving over the year.

There are some really easy ways to lower your weekly shopping bill. For a start give the supermarkets own-brand goods a try. In many cases you will find the quality to be just as good; for most shopping products you are paying more for the brand so don't let them get away with it.y

Always take advantage of discount deals such as buy-one-get-one free (BOGOF), 3 for 2 etc. Shops regularly change their offers so avoiding brand loyalty and switching to products on special offer is a great way to save money.

Finally take advantage of any coupons, reward points and other special offers that make you purchases cheaper. Some people feel embarrassed handing these things over at the tills but the supermarkets release them so take full advantage and make those valuable savings.
