Waiting for coupons is a thing of the past: With this ingenious trick you always know when there are discounts when shopping for groceries.
More savings tips pave the way for you to the throne of bargains.
Munich – You can't avoid grocery shopping.
However, the cost of living, which will continue to rise in the future, is rarely as noticeable as it is in the supermarket or discounter.
Good advice is expensive if you don't want to do without your favorite products.
However, if you know these tricks, you can shop cheaply even in the current economic crisis.
Save on shopping: This secret code makes reductions predictable
Whether Lidl, Penny or Rewe, all food retailers have one thing in common: their profit lies in the price range between what they pay the supplier and what the customer has on their receipt.
It is logical that it is particularly important for supermarkets and discounters to sell the goods, otherwise they would have made a loss.
If you include additional costs, such as those for cooling and storing the food, it becomes understandable why remaining items and items that will soon expire are given away from time to time.

But how do the employees, who mostly work in shifts, keep track of what needs to be reduced and when?
As inFranken.de
reports, a secret code
helps here .
This is completely freely accessible and yet only a few customers know its meaning.
This is a simple way of saving many euros when shopping.
“T” or “TS” is the code to look out for on price tags.
The "T" means daily goods, the "TS" daily goods on Saturday.
The former products are thus reduced in price every day, the latter goods on Saturdays.
Saving when shopping: How to use the processes in supermarkets and discounters for yourself
In addition, there are also a few tricks that you can use to cover your food needs at significantly lower prices.
In particular, the electronic price tags, which are now widespread, allow supermarkets and discounters to change prices several times during the day.
Anyone who knows the rules according to which this is carried out can sometimes buy goods noticeably cheaper.
A test by the television station
RTL
showed that meat products in particular are cheaper in the morning.
When it comes to fruit, vegetables and bread, reductions are usually made just before closing time.
In general, it can be said that food retailers want perishable goods to leave the market as quickly as possible.
So also look out for discounts on products with a short expiration date or those that are about to expire.
