why /How to shop effectively and cheap

It is a pleasure to make this post about some effective shopping techniques and a few reasons why I think they are advantageous. I find them very helpful in my everyday life and very useful to save money

Being female in most part of the world entails some responsibilities. These responsibilities could be stereotype sometimes, depending on what the people hold as values and culture

Thou this has changed a lot in present day as it's no longer termed a one gender "thing". One of these responsibility is shopping.

considering the sudden increase in price of food and house hold items especially after the pandemic, it's advicable to shop wisely but effectively to reduce how much you spend and increase your savings

Shopping according to your budget is a big deal the is no shame in it ,not every one earns the same ,why not make it better by buying everything on the list and have extra $ left.

I have noticed that for some food items, the same quantities are sold at different prices. There are various reasons for this, one of these reasons is the;

• production cost of the packaging material that's used to preserve and contain the foods. In Nigeria for example most often the price of foods in sachet are cheaper than those in plastic which are cheaper than those in tin and bottles beginning the highest for the same quantity .

Vegetable oil in bottle

These different container or packing materials have different benefits, if non of the benefits are useful to you the going for cheaper will be a bonus.

• Also buying storage containers could reduce cost long term in addition it helps organisation ,your kitchen.

3) checking the expiring date

"it is health that is real wealth not pieces of gold and silver"

Buying foods that our close to the expiration date can be a reason for waste, due to circumstances this food item might not be consumed at the intended time, having a further expiration date can highly reduce the chance that the food will be wasted because it expire.

• Make a habit of check the expiration date at the super market before purchase
