Today’s tip is really handy when shopping at big supermarkets like Tesco or Asda but I also have an alternative method for shops like Aldi or Lidl.
Have you ever used scan as you shop? Recently its been the main method I use when shopping, it allows you to see exactly how much your spending and lets you remove items if you think its getting too pricey, rather than receiving a big shock at the checkout and checking your receipt to see how you spent that much.
For Tesco all you need is a clubcard and scan it in store to get started .
For Asda there is two methods either you use their in-store touchscreen or register online by setting up an Asda.com and account to add your phone number before you go then simply login when you arrive and grab a handset and start scanning or you can use their scan as you go app and do it all from your phone.
Then when you’ve finished you go to the scan as you go checkout and follow the instructions there, there will always be someone on hand to help you with any query you might have.
The alternative method for shopping at Aldi or Lidl is simple.
You can use the calculator on your phone and add up as you go along, but be mindful of whether or not you need it when your shopping, try to avoid special-buys unless you need them because they can increase your spend quickly.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Hope to see you soon.
