Groceries

• Never go shopping without a list of items you need to buy.
  
• Complete a Money Detectives Shopping Planner after you have worked out what meals you require for the week. To work out your meals use a Money Detectives Menu Planner. This shopping list will detail all the ingredients / items you will need to buy to make your meals over the next 7 days.
  
• Keep a shopping list handy in your kitchen so each time you realise you are running short of something you can add it your list.
  
• Try and avoid pre-packaged and processed foods. Use your cooking skills to build up your own wholesome and healthy meals.
  
• Check your docket. Do each of the items look like they are priced correctly? Ensure all discounts promised have been granted especially deals such as buy two get one free, or two for $X.
