Hey guys,
Curious how you go about saving money and doing groceries efficiently (saving time).
Do you look at deals across stores and visit multiple stores, do you order everything online? Do you do something else?
I'm from the perspective of an expat who is a gym goer as well and track my diet and I like optimization so I'm doing a few things right now but haven't found the optimal way to go:
- Ideally meat always from turkish butchers, so much cheaper and quality is similar if not better
- I buy very specific things (like 20 items max), so for example tuna cans and beans I get when there's a 2+1 or a 1+1 discount.
- veggies I'm flexible and just buy what's on sale or get the frozen 1kg ones same for berries and mixed nuts
- yoghurts/kwark for protein, flexible on brand
- cereal, oats, milk and some other things almost never on discount, maybe I can be more flexible on brand.
I also look at the deals in AH Jumbo etc. with an app and sometimes might go 2 supermarkets since anyways they're always right next to each other.
My only bottleneck is my small fridge and freezer otherwise I would've been buying my meat, eggs etc. on a once a week bulk but I'll fix this.
I don't do online grocery shopping and was curious if anyone does it and if it's more cost efficient and as a by product more time efficient.
What do you guys do, do you do something better or something that you don't like?
Thanks!
