How to navigate in most supermarkets-

For folks who have not been used to shopping for themselves - these few rules will help you

Before you go-

1. Make sure you are not hungry when you go food shopping. It is amazing how much more stuff you have to buy when you are hungry.
2. Saturday is the hardest day to shop. If it is the only time you can go, be there by 8AM or wait until 6:30 PM. The first and the fifteenth will be busy most of the day. On any typical Sunday, noon -3Pm should be avoided.
3. Have a list of essentials written down. Take a pencil / pen with you and cross off what you have and keep a running total of what you have spent.
4. Coupons are your friends but only if it is something you typically use or a new product you want to try out.
