Save money in everyday life and when shopping.

Easier said than done when prices are constantly rising.

Aside from chasing deals, people can save a lot of money on their daily shopping with a few tweaks.

Munich – The inflation rate in Germany was in double digits in September 2022.

Plus 10 percent, a new record in united Germany.

The Federal Statistical Office is observing price increases, some of which are enormous, for many goods and especially for food.

But people have to eat.

How are you supposed to save?

If you are willing to adapt a bit, try new things and break some habits, you can save a lot of money on groceries.

Save when shopping for groceries - too bad to throw away

Don't feel like cooking yourself, but restaurants and expensive delivery services are beyond your budget?

Then it pays off to take a look at the

app .

Participating restaurants and bakeries sell leftover food at low prices just before closing time.

However, you have to pick it up yourself.

Shop specifically and save even with organic quality

Shopping carefully and using up leftovers instead of throwing them away is a good basis for saving money.

It makes sense to plan your weekly shopping.

It has proven useful to put together a meal plan for the whole week and then go shopping.

This has the positive side effect that less unused food ends up in the garbage.

Sales of organic food are declining.

And this despite the fact that organic food is often not much more expensive than conventional brands.

Save when shopping for groceries - healthy is usually cheaper

Another way to save is to buy healthy groceries.

Products such as lentils, potatoes, rice or beans have a long shelf life, are healthy and inexpensive.

Chickpeas, kidney beans and legumes in general are much cheaper dried than canned.

Recipes for rice dishes or meals with legumes can be found on the Internet.

Anyone who buys the products mentioned in organic quality usually still spends less money than for conventional sausage or meat products.

If you like fruit, you can buy seasonal or regional products.

Prices for fruit and vegetables have certainly risen in the last six months.

But they should still cost less than a flight pineapple or strawberries from Chile in the winter months.
