You don't need more than these 12 shopping tips

EAT FULL BEFORE: If you go to the supermarket hungry, don't shop according to a list, but according to your appetite. It gets expensive!

SHOP ALONE: If you have the opportunity, leave your children at home. Then there's no nagging and only what you need ends up in the shopping cart.

COLLECT WITH TIME: Don't write your shopping list just before you go shopping. Hang a list in the kitchen so you can write down what you need throughout the week.

COMPARE PRICES : It's clear that a supermarket can't have the best prices everywhere. If you have time, why not buy your milk somewhere else? This way you can buy particularly cheap food.

NO PLASTIC BAGS: Take your own shopping bags with you. It's good for the environment and you won't take more than you planned.

SHOP IN THE MORNING: Don't shop at peak times. Then you can go straight to the checkout and won't be tempted to buy unnecessary sweets in the queue.

DON'T BLEND: Don't just buy a product because it's on offer. Ask yourself whether you really need it.

WHEN IT HAS TO BE QUICK: Frozen food is better than its reputation. Freshly harvested fruit and vegetables are cleaned and flash-frozen so that the vitamin and mineral content remains high.

PAYING IN CASH: Only take as much money with you as you actually want to spend. If you pay by card, you usually spend considerably more.

BUY SEASONALLY: Give preference to regional vegetables. They are cheap, of high quality and protect the environment because they don't have to travel long distances.

SHOP: If you are shopping at a market, come just before the end and don't be afraid to bargain. You won't be stepping on the traders' toes. On the contrary. They want to get rid of everything.

BASKET SIZE: The bigger the shopping cart, the more you can put in it. How about a basket? If you have to lug it yourself, you'll think twice about packing unnecessary items.

These shopping tips may sound simple and logical at first, but make sure you actually put them into practice for a month. You will see that these simple tips will actually save you money!
