Many wholesale supermarkets offer you discounts for buying products in bulk. This is a good way to save only if you have somewhere to store a dozen tins of everything and 10kg of rice and flour. If you have a large pantry or a place to store non-perishables this can be a way of taking advantage of unlimited quantity specials. You will need to use the products before they go out of date and start to deteriorate.

Get together with family and friends-If you don’t have the room, split the items between your family or a group of friends. Having 4 members in your group is enough. Everyone puts in their share and one of you goes and buys the products and then you split them up equally amongst the group.
Sometimes cases of tinned food are cheaper than buying each tin individually but if you can’t store it there is no point in buying it. Find out what your family and friends buy and split a case, say of baked beans.
Bulk dry goods are usually cheaper to buy at the local supermarket. You do need to do a price comparison as bulk does not equal cheaper. Check the price per kilogram, pound or litre to make sure that the bulk quantity is not more expensive than the smaller quantities.
If your family like bolognaise sauce, make a big batch and freeze portion sizes for using later. It is just as easy to make a big batch
Make muffins in large quantities and freeze to pop in lunch boxes or to take out when friends drop in

Buy generic

When you go shopping you don’t need to buy the big and popular name brands, sometimes the supermarket brands and generic brands are just as good and are a lot cheaper
If the kids will only eat a name brand cereal, buy it once and keep the box and reuse it or use a plastic container for cereal and they won’t be the wiser
Much of the time the major brands also manufacture the supermarket brands and put plain labelling on it, check place of manufacture for a clue

You will need to try a few different ones as not all the generic and supermarket brands are as good as the brand names but there are a lot of products that you can be saving money on by choosing supermarket brands.

Plant a veggie and herb garden

One way to save on your food budget is to grow some of your own vegetables, herbs and salad products.
Choose varieties that are disease free and pest resistant and start your veggie garden.
Grow plants like tomatoes and peppers in pots on the verandah if you don’t have room for a vegetable garden.
Make a herb garden in a large pot with basil, parsley, chives and rosemary

Growing a few vegetables of your own is not hard and you don’t need lots of room. A raised garden bed made from timber or bricks are the easiest way to do it. There is no heavy digging and the condition of your soil doesn’t matter.

Clothes

Clothes are another expensive items particularly for growing children. Avoid buying brand names as they will son grow out of them. There are ways to save money though.

End of season sales

Buy clothes at the end of a season and save. The stores just want to move the merchandise and cut costs by more than 50%. Some stores send unsold stock to thrift stores so keep an eye on your local outlets.

Factory outlets

Don’t dismiss buying a garment that is a second. Look it over and you might notice the label is on upside down. There is often absolutely nothing wrong with the clothes.

It may be the end of a run or colour they are no keeping
Printing may be offset or wonky
