Shopping Tips

Before you go shopping take note of the following tips. They can help you save time and money for you in your family life today.
  • Check the sale papers and/or Internet flyers of the stores you are interested in before you go to shop to see what is on sale.
  • Make list of items you require that are on sale.
  • Make list of the items you require that are not on sale.
  • Decide where you will shop.
  • It may not be worth it to run around to many different locations so make sure the savings are worth while.
  • Check dates on flyers for start and end dates of sales.
  • Don't forget to take your coupons with you.
  • If shopping for groceries make sure you eat before you shop, otherwise you may buy items just because you are hungry, not because you need them.
  • If shopping at a store that doesn't provide bags, take your own. Reusable bags are better and no recycling. These hold a fair amount of product.
  • Check prices with scanner if available to ensure you are getting the right price. This is the price that will show up at the till.
  • If no scanner check cost of item at till on check out. Make sure you are getting the sale price. Items don't always get inputted in computer correctly according to sales flyer.
  • Watch signs with prices above or in front of items. These do not necessarily apply to that particular item.

Read the signs carefully.
In your family life today have fun shopping!
