I used to be the person who would just grab whatever and kept going but then I started to really look at products and figure out how I can get more for my money.
When you want to get more for your money you have to start looking at the details of the product.
I'm talking about looking at ounces, quantity, and whatever else you need to figure out what is the best bargain.
Let's break down the goldfish for this example, I know I know...MATH! UGH! But it won't be so hard once you practice doing this every time you shop!
We're going to break it down to how much each ounce comes out to for the price and we're going to round the numbers to make it easier.
Regular bag: 1.99 for 6.8 ounces = 2/6.8 = .29 cents per ounce
Big bag: 3.99 for 11 ounces = 4/11 = .36 cents per ounce
Snack packs: 4.99 for 9 ounces = 4/9 = .44 cents per ounce
Best bargain....drumroll please!.....: The regular size bag of goldfish!!
So as tedious as this might be, once you do it on a regular basis it will become easier and easier, trust me, it really does!
The next Grocery Shopping Tip will be about "sales" because sometimes those "sales" are not always what they say they are.
Until next time,
