Use notes on the smart phone and limit input to what you need not what you want 

Use what you have in the fridge & the pantry before going out and buying more groceries. You'll save on wastage and make room on the shelves at the same time. 

Totally agree with all the comments on here. I am a 51 year old single parent on newstart for the past 2 years. I lost my job and my home. I have a child still at primary school and one first year at uni. I am retraining as a childcare worker, lots of jobs in that industry, well not if your 51 and don't have job experience. I have been for countless interviews, my self-esteem has plummeted. I am sick of being called a dole bludger, even by my family. I am a registered job seeker with Mission Australia, they get paid for this. They do nothing for me, I turn up for an interview every month and I sign a plan that says I have to apply for so many jobs a fortnight. The system is not working. I have a few friends in the same situation as me, we feel like we have been forgotten. I found out yesterday I need a root canal - was quoted around $2000, how can I afford that. It's robbery. It's not cosmetic, I have to have it done. Now I know why so many people have missing teeth. 

I find the best way to save on foodstuffs is to buy from independent small businesses, who specialise in high quality, fresh food. It lasts longer, tastes better and is more nutritious. I visit the supermarket only occasionally to stock up on essential grocery items, and thus avoid the temptation to buy non-essential items that can really burn a whole in the budget, such as snack foods and confectionary. 

I shop in bulk for meat, chicken etc when it's on special, and freeze in meal size packs. Even though it's now only my husband and I living in our house, I cook bulk meals at once whenever possible, so reducing our power/energy costs overall. I've shopped and cooked this way all our married life and so can easily calculate the per meal/head cost of our food. Even if people are singles, it may be possible to team up with others to bulk buy. The supermarkets don't give any consideration to singles or those on limited incomes when they offer discounts only when you buy two of something, so beat them at their own game and team up with others to make your money go further. 

This is one of the most useless articles I have ever read. Anybody who grocery shops would have learnt all these so called tips by the second week of shopping. Older people are not dumb. 

We shop daily after our morning walk and usually start we the stores open at 8:00 am. Since Woolies and Coles are both close by we tend to shop at both stores for specials. Also we always check out the through out bins as there is always terrific bargains that we can either freeze or use for todays meals. We are not vegans but we save plenty by not buying expensive lamb,beef etc. Sometimes I always stopped ;later around 4:00 PM when Woolies discounts there bakery items and roast chickens where we stock up ! 

Discounts from Coles and Woolworths for Petrol Purchases are fake as a group of us pensioners checked out the various prices of food at many grocery and green grocery stores and found that the items can be bought cheaper at individual stores like Aldi,IGA and self owned stores.Hence those petrol vouchers you are getting at Coles and Woolworths are fake as the discount price is loaded onto their food items. 

So nobody likes Friday Tuna surprise ?? This is the comment in tips to save on grocery bill. Well, then, I would like to comment that for some of us, and for our own financial reasons, that may be all there is to have. What an insensitive and ignorant comment 

I make a shopping list but if I come across somethings on special and I know I will have to buy them in the next couple of weeks then I buy them because they normally return to normal price
