6 tips for a cheap purchase

In a nutshell: My tip certainly contains some points that are not new. But I have to say that I always have to keep these things in mind so that I do not spend more than I have to. Maybe this little compilation will help you too.

Tips for a cheap purchase

Take away grocery bag (s) from home

That's it! By now I've gotten used to (including my friend) taking at least one carry-on bag from home. If I know it will be more, then either one big or two normal shopping bags.


It does not always have to be branded products

For example, fish sticks or the "Prinzenrolle" are just as good in my opinion and sometimes even by the same manufacturer with a different name (hears / reads / you see again and again).

Who can, freezes or buys in stock


What I also like doing is to buy larger quantities and then freeze or put them on the pantry.

Pay attention to offers or reduced items

Here you can often save a few Euros


If possible, go by bike or walk

If you throw the car (or even the scooter) for small distances every time, that goes pretty well into the money (except bulk purchases, of which you can live for several weeks) and the environment also strains it.

A tip from my mother: often go to Turkish shops

There fruit and vegetables should be cheaper and meat they always fresh there. We also have a Turkish bakery, which is very cheap but has great things to choose from. But I can not say more about that myself either. Do I have to test myself? Mom is excited anyway.

There are certainly many things that are missing in the list, but for me personally, the most important ones.
