Hayley's Money Saving Tips

Do your weekly food shop on-line and save a fortune.

“Food prices are accelerating at their fastest rate since records began, fueling a rise in the average family’s shopping bill of £750 a year.”
Telegraph 09/06/2008

With increased food prices people need to become wiser with their cash when it comes to the dreaded weekly shop. One way of doing this is to ditch the supermarket trolley; pick up the mouse and do your grocery shopping on-line. With on-line supermarket shopping people are more likely to stick to their personal budget, not get persuaded by the famous but expensive 2 for 1 deals, and will not be tempted by the aroma of "just out of the oven" jam donuts. And the best part about it; Shoppers can do a price comparison check to find the cheapest supermarket and gain cash back for their weekly shop.

Top Tips

1. Plan a weekly menu. (If you plan what you and your family have each day, you’ll cut back on your food wastage, eat more of a well balanced diet and stop buying essentials from your over priced corner shop.)

2. Rummage around in the kitchen cupboards. (Have a good idea of things you already have and things you need to buy.)

3. Write a shopping list. (Use your weekly menu to devise a shopping list.)

4. Do a price comparison check. (Find the cheapest supermarket near you by using a supermarket price comparison site.)

5. Register with Internet Cashback (Gain cashback for your weekly shop.)
