2. Only shop on the outside aisles of the supermarket - Everything you need is in these aisles and is usually cheaper than what you will find on the inside aisles.
3. Don't buy brand names - Whenever possible, buy the store's brand. It is often half the price or less and sometimes the actual product is identical, just with different packaging.
4. Write a meal plan - Planning ahead means you only buy what you need. Furthermore, planning your meals in advance means you can plan your calorie and nutritional intake throughout the day and week.
5. Eat before you shop - Going to the supermarket hungry is a poor-mans nightmare. All the empty calorie snack foods scream out to be eaten when hungry. Therefore eat beforehand to save your wallet and diet.
