Money Saving Tips That Really Help You Save Money

By Zigfred Diaz

Filipinos from all walks of life has certainly been affected by the ongoing food and oil crises. I consider writing an article on money saving tips as my own little way of helping ease the burden of my countrymen. Besides one of the main theme of my blog is money saving tips.

These are some money saving tips that I have experienced. I would like to share these to you.

1.) Be a "bulk" buyer - If you compare prices in your local grocery store buying bigger is always better. Notice the difference in price per gram between a 50 gram sachet of detergent powder and 250 grams. This fact is not even concealed by the products themselves. You will see a label that you will save a lot more if you buy the bigger item. This drives home to you a very simple principle, buying bigger is always better. You should avoid small repacks of certain items. This money saving tips is one of the most important tips to bear in mind.

2.) Industrial suppliers sell them cheaper - You can get cheaper items from companies because either they buy in bulk or they produce their own. I got this idea when I started thinking about buying in bulk. I figured out that I could buy detergent much more cheaper if I bought them per sack. Unfortunately, the grocery stores did not sell them per sack. So I asked around and discovered that you can get cheap detergent from laundry shops.

3.) Know who your supplier is - In my previous articles, I talked a little bit about some money saving tips which discussed about knowing who your supplier is. However, that article talks about not buying in a convenience store. Here, one of my money saving tips is that you should determine who will be your supplier for a certain type of product.

As an illustration, you will notice that vegetables and meat products are much more cheaper in the wet market than in grocery stores. The reason for such is because the wet markets buy directly from the farmers and the fishermen. That is why you should buy these type of products from the wet markets. Since dry goods, canned foods and other items are cheaper in the grocery stores you should buy them there. Grocery stores certainly offers much more lower prices for these items since they buy directly from the manufacturers in wholesale.
