Frugality Week: Grocery shopping mistakes you think you’re too smart to make

1. Too busy to check the lowest or highest shelves.

The most expensive items in the grocery are mostly at eye level. If you want to find bargains, you have to stoop down or look up. “This may not be true all the time, but I did find that it was true in some of the grocery stores I went to,” Heinz says.

We had a good laugh at the fact that I’m only all of 4 feet and 9 inches.

2. Moving from aisle to aisle in an “organized manner”.

Heinz also says there’s a science to designing how products are situated in grocery stores. The most expensive food items are placed in the middle while those that are less expensive are in the periphery. So that’s why processed food items are always in the center!

If you move from the periphery to the center (as opposed to from aisle to aisle in a zigzag manner), you are more likely to pick up value-for-money items first and save the frivolous stuff for last, just in case you have some fun money left.

3. Assuming tag prices are accurate all the time.

They aren’t. In the photo above, the actual price is lower, so it was good for me. But what if the actual price is higher? Who has the time and patience to check actual prices at the counter?

4. Grocery shopping before lunchtime on a Saturday or going to the wet market before breakfast.

Never shop on an empty stomach!

5. Leaving the calculator at home.

How about you? How do you keep yourself from buying more than you need?
