How to Save Money on Groceries
[Image of grocery shopping budget]Grocery shopping is one of the biggest monthly expenses for most families. Using a calculator while you shop is the best way to stick to your budget.
1. Unit Pricing (The Secret Weapon)
Don't just look at the final price tag. Look at the Price Per Unit (e.g., Price per 100g or per Liter).
Example: A 500g pack costs ₹100 (₹20/100g). A 1kg pack costs ₹180 (₹18/100g). The bigger pack is cheaper per unit.
2. Stick to the List
Impulse buying is the enemy of your budget. Supermarkets are designed to make you buy more (placing candy at checkout, essentials at the back). Make a list using this calculator and stick to it.
3. Calculate Before Checkout
The worst feeling is reaching the checkout counter and realizing you've overspent. Use this tool to track your total as you pick items. If the budget bar turns red, put something back *before* you queue up.
