Simple tips for better shopping.

Reach to the Back of the Shelves you Lazy gits :mad:
All stock is Constantly rotated so that the old is at the front & the new at the back. Reaching to the back can get you meat/food that will last a week rather than a day.

Be nice to the Staff whether you want to be or not.
Those that are nice get Extra help & are even pointed towards better deals or savings they have missed. Customers that are horrible get smiles but that is all ;)

Shop during the night or around 7am if you want to go in the day.
By 7am All the Fresh food is put out whether needed on the shelves or not it will be out on the shop floor, This is when digging to the bag reaps best rewards.

Also hit those Reduced sections for food you fancy that same day.
Fresh food on reduced is still within date & if eaten the same day can save you 50%.

Never & I mean Never Assume the Supermarket you are in sells Everything cheap.
I can walk you around my store & show you many superb deals, I can also walk you around & show you items that cost Double what they cost at other Local stores.
Do Not be fooled by loss leaders just buy them & ignore the expensive stuff.


Anybody else got some shopping tips ?

:eek: Are you ********* me.

Sorry to say this but I Never shop on the Internet, I browse on the web & get a good deal to take to a shop to haggle or I pre order & go & pick it up. Even with OcUK I go & pick it up myself, **** buying stuff with out seeing it & **** putting my goods in the hands of some no good courier to play footy with until he decides it's time for me to have my item/items.
In the case of Food shopping Oh my good God laugh out loud, Do you Really think you are getting the best Food to put inside your body by buying it online & letting agency or temp staff pick it for you :p

I used to do this, theres nothing wrong with it, I dont care if my baked beans have a dent in the tin, nor if my pack of crisps seems a bit crushed. If I was that bothered about my average shopping I would have gone to get it. If I cooked a proper meal for people etc etc I would definitely go and get the ingredients myself, but everyday basic stuff? Online all the way. I dont have time. I do understand why people would want to 'feel' and make sure the meat and select fresh items are in good nick.

Point well made & taken :)

I was going on about food shopping being locked in the supermarket train of thought :o
I do agree that Leccy goods PC etc can be purchased cheaper online & you can get Exactly what you want rather than settling for whatever your local shop has which is usually crap.
Appreciate you all baring with me though :cool:
