Budget-savvy mum reveals supermarket shopping tips for how she feeds her family for less than €5 a day

A budget-savvy mum-of-two has warned how shoppers can get caught out by falling for “offers” in a supermarket and end up spending more money than they intended to.

Santis said she always shops with cash rather than a card, sticks to a strict shopping list and avoids offers as “it’s not a bargain if you don’t need it”.She often reminds her followers that supermarkets are a business that want to make a profit and consumers need to be wary of deals like getting ‘three for the price of two’ because it only makes people spend money on items they don’t need.

“[Ask yourself] do you need two of that? You were only in here for one. Sometimes it’s as simple as that. Focus on the list that you have in front of you and your meal plan and what you actually need.” However, finding the yellow-stickered items can be “hit-and-miss” and it can sometimes depend on what day of the week and time you are shopping.

“You need to know what the prices are everywhere. That’s how you ultimately know you are getting the best bargain,” she said.
