# 1: Check the price per kilo

If the choice is between several items of the same variety, it is the price per kilo or per liter that reveals what is cheaper and where you get the most for your money.

It is usually written in a slightly smaller font next to the item’s unit price. This is the one to compare when choosing between multiple items.

# 2: buy items with a short shelf life

Some foods are sold at a discount in grocery stores as the expiration date approaches. Therefore, you can save a lot on buying food at a reduced price due to its short shelf life.

Some items, such as meat and fish, can be eaten on the same day. Other products may have a shelf life well beyond the expiration date, including dry and dairy products. Therefore, there is no danger in buying an item at half price and not using it within the expiration date.

# 3: use the food waste app

Earlier this fall, we tested the To Good To Go food waste app where you can also buy groceries from grocery stores.

We got very good value for money, especially at the Joker chain, when we sampled wonderful bags from three of the chains.

Regardless, you get groceries that cost more in total than you pay in total for a wonderful bag. For those who are not picky about what they eat, this is a great way to save money.
