The Rice crises and rising oil prices has certainly affected all Filipinos regardless what bracket of society they come from. To help ease the burden of my fellow countrymen, I am coming up with some money saving tips, besides money saving tips is one of topics of my blog.
The following are money saving tips that I have experienced and would like to share them with 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.) Buy from industrial suppliers - Companies get cheaper supplies because they buy in bulk or they manufacture their own. I got this idea when I first implemented the "buy in bulk" principle. I was thinking of buying a sack of detergent but I couldn't find it in the grocery stores. I did some reasearch and found out that you can get cheap detergent from laundry shops. The price of detergent is very cheap for them since they make their own soap. The quality of the soap that they make is more or less the same with commercial soap.
3.) Be conscious about who your supplier is - I talked a little bit about this money saving tip in my previous post. However that deals with not buying in a convenience store. In this money saving tip, the point I am driving is that you choose which store you could find a cheaper price for a certain type of need.
For example, vegetables and meat products are definitely cheaper in the wet market than in your favorite grocery store so it is advisable to shop there for these kinds of items. The reason for this is that they buy directly from the farmers and fishermen. Dry goods, canned foods and other items is definitely cheaper in the grocery stores because the grocery stores buys directly from the manufacturers in whole sale. - 15224
