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.
I have personally experienced these money saving tips and I would like to share them with 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.) Industrial suppliers sell them cheaper - You can get cheaper items from companies because either they buy in bulk or they produce their own. I got this idea when I started thinking about buying in bulk. I figured out that I could buy detergent much more cheaper if I bought them per sack. Unfortunately, the grocery stores did not sell them per sack. So I asked around and discovered that you can get cheap detergent from laundry shops.
3.) Know who your supplier is - In my previous articles, I talked a little bit about some money saving tips which discussed about knowing who your supplier is. However, that article talks about not buying in a convenience store. Here, one of my money saving tips is that you should determine who will be your supplier for a certain type of product.
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.
