As we're visiting Philippines by next year, we are seriously maintaining our monthly savings goals in order to purchase airfare for three by October. We need also to set aside an amount to celebrate Hyzyd's 2nd birthday by the same month. Other expenses will include "pasalubong" (gifts for our family, relatives and friends) and more!
So what do we need to do in order to save more? Bargain shopping!!! I practiced loss leader sale watching in the meat department. There's always a fifty percent savings on a meat item we regularly buy. Other grocery items that tend to fall in the category of loss leaders on a regular basis include fresh produce, baking supplies, dairy products and canned goods.
These sales don't apply to just food items. Shampoos, deodorants, first aid products and a whole range of personal care items are discounted on a regular basis as well. Cleaning products are also heavily marked down periodically to entice you to try a new brand.
For our clothing, I consider quality of the cloth and design. We usually shopped at FQ and L Boutique. While that can cost a bit more even for just my husband and I, we needs to take seasonal sale watching on this product to a whole new level. FQ and L go on sale a few times a year, but one of the best times to snag a great price on them is June. We've bought a couple of jeans, shirts and other clothing accessories for fifty-percent off! Snagging a deal of this magnitude can make the difference in our family between either putting nutritious food on the table or even being able to replace necessary clothing items at all!
More than just a way to save money on medical costs, going generic is also a great strategy for saving money on all sorts of things, from ink and art supplies to shampoo and groceries. If clipping coupons isn't in my schedule yet, or I'm just too overwhelmed to keep up with it at any point, switching to generics in general is an easy way for us to go to save money. Many grocery store chains here in Hatyai City have their own generic food lines now, including Tops Supermarket, Tesco Lotus , Big C and Carrefour. When I started considering this route few months ago, I'm very surprised at the variety of options available to us-marinades, ice cream, bistro style appetizers, gourmet pasta, organic food items, dairy products and more are available in generic equivalents. I'm looking for store brand formula though but haven't find any.
When I read the article about 10 Products to Always Buy Generic,I couldn't agree more! I've found a few generics to be far superior to name brand items. As stated in the article, don't commit to a major quantity of any generic. Try it in the smallest amount first. You might be pleasantly surprised.
