I thought about looking at “Cow Appreciation Day” today, but decided to MOOOOVE on to something else and explore something that might help you save when grocery shopping.
I use this a lot when it comes to “DEALS” that are posted as you walk through the aisles, especially when it comes to the BOGO discounts. This began mainly when we started buying diapers, looking at the unit cost of the advertised “deal” compared to the larger regular priced box. Almost always the bigger box is a better deal than the promoted special price.
Same goes it you ever shop at a big box store. Just because something is available in a triple mega size, that doesn’t mean that it is an actual cost saving.
What I didn’t know is that in some provinces, states and countries; unit pricing has to be shown on the price display. That saves using your phone, a calculator, or doing a lot of math in your head to make your dollar stretch further as you hunt for the best deals to complete your list.
It’s one more way to help you save at the grocery store — so why isn’t unit pricing mandatory?
As prices increase, how can we save when we head to the grocery store. Experts have a number of suggestions like looking at alternatives such as online options. Calculating unit pricing is mentioned in the tips, but the seemingly most important tip is to make a list and stick to it.
