A habit that changes the whole shop
Think in meals,
not individual bargains.
A low pack price means little if the food goes unused, the usable portions are small or you need another shopping trip to make it a meal.
Start with what is at home. Choose ingredients that work across your family’s meals, compare their usable cost and buy quantities you can store and use.
