Ladies, Are you a shrewed shopper? Do you buy from the reduced counter at your supermarket?

Question

Do you go to boot fairs and buy quality clothes and have them cleaned? Do you buy the cheaper cleaning aids or go for the branded ones? Can you make a pound go as far as your mum? Plese tell me how you save money.

Answer 1

Like Jam, I love going through the reduced section at the supermarket and tend to make my meals around that. BOGOF too.

I don't scrimp on cleaning products though - tried it once and they just don't last as long/ do as good a job.

Hate clothes shopping anyway, so if I walk past something that catches my eye, I'll just buy it.

I live alone, and sometimes I go shopping with a friend who also lives alone - we buy the 'family value' stuff like 20 rolls of loo paper, huge boxes of washing powder, big portions of meat etc and spilt them between us.

Storage space would be a problem otherwise! Also, less chance to products going off/ getting ruined before you've used them!

Answer 2

I like raiding the reduced section in my local Tesco - you can get some really good stuff at a fraction of their original price, which is great for storing in the freezer.

That's about all i do though.
