. Before you go to the store, think about what you will need to create at least your next three meals, and make a list. 

 by sticking to your shopping list. At the same time, adjust your ingredients if something you can substitute is on special. 

 Supermarkets tend to stock fresh items and whole foods around the edges, more highly processed foods are positioned in the inner aisles, and profitable junk food usually sits at eye level. 

 Avoid buying out-of-season produce that has to be flown in from distant countries or interstate, and which attracts premium prices. Local farmers markets can offer really fresh fruits and vegetables at good prices. 

 Packaging can be deceiving. Compare the value of products by checking prices per 100 grams. Many grocery stores provide this information on the price label above or below their products. 

 Supermarket and other private label brands of packaged foods often provide similar quality but cost 15 to 20 per cent less. 

 If a store near you has a bulk section, you will save considerable money by making your purchases there. 

 Go cherry picking between stores to take advantage of what’s on special. For example, you can stock up on loaves of bread when they’re on special and then freeze them. A toaster will thaw the slices nicely. 

 Buy only what you need. A huge portion of food purchased frequently ends up in the bin. Always check use-by-dates and place chilled and frozen products in your shopping trolley last. 

 Compare ingredients and nutritional content to ensure that you get the best health value for your dollar.
