Where to ShopSupermarketsWarehouse storesFood cooperativesHeath Food StoresSpecialty StoresConvenience StoresFarmer’s Markets
Supermarkets Large stores that
sell not only food but also many other items and services Example:
Wal-MartTarget
Warehouse Stores Offer basic items with
few customer services Prices are usually lower Most are large but have
a limited variety of items
Shoppers must bag their own groceries Example:
Aldis Food For Less
Food Cooperatives Low Cost Option Food distribution
organizations mutually owned and operated by a group of people
Members buy food in quantity and do the sorting, unloading, and other work themselves
Health Food Stores Offer a wide range
of foods Likely to be more
expensive Often times will
include items that can not be found other places
Specialty StoresLimited to specific items such as
FishMeatBaked goodsEthnic foods
Prices are usually higherOften carry items that can not be
found in other stores
Convenience Stores Give fast service Open early and
close late Some open 24 hours
Do not carry a full line of groceries
Generally higher in prices
Farmer’s Markets Specialize in fresh fruits
and vegetables Selection depends on
the area and the season Usually closed during
cold months Locally grown foods that
are fresher and less expensive
How to decideIs the store clean?What are your priorities?What kinds of food do you shop for
most often?How far do you have to travel to shop?Are you willing to give up some
services in exchange for lower prices?
When to shop How often should you shop?
Depends on several factors How much storage space you have
Over half of all American families do their shopping once a week
What time of the day should you shop? One time of day NOT to shop is right before
mealtimes (or if your hungry)Studies show that people spend as much as 15%
more on food when they shop on empty stomachs Evening and Weekends are the most crowded
times
A Shopping ListSaves you time and moneyHelp to avoid IMPULSE BUYING
Buying items you did not plan on purchasing and do not really need
Can ruin any food budget
Making a Shopping List
1. Plan the meals you will serve for that shopping period Check newspaper ads to see what is on sale
2. Check your menus and recipes to see what ingredients you need to purchase Check your supply of basic items:
Staples Items you use on a regular basis such as flour, honey,
and nonfat dry milkFoods you keep on hand for emergencies
Frozen dinners Canned foods Cleaning supplies and paper products
Making a Shopping List
3. Organize Your ListGroup items that are found in the same
area of the store Make out your list according to the layout
of the store
Coupons Offer savings on the
price of a specific product
Found in Newspapers Magazines Product packages Mailed advertisements
Coupons Two Basic Types: Cents-off Coupons
Reduced prices when the coupon is presented to the cashier
Rebate Coupons Rebate
Partial refund from the manufacturer of a purchased good
You pay regular price at the store
Later you fill out the rebate coupon and mail it
A check for the rebate amount will be mailed to you

Comparison ShoppingMatch prices and characteristics of
similar or like items to determine which offers the best value
Methods:Calculating unit priceComputing cost per servingTrying store brands or generic items
Unit PricesAn item’s price per ounce, quart,
pound, or other unitTo calculate: divide the total price of
the item by the number of unitsExample:
Spaghetti Sauce$1.32 for a 12 oz jar (1.32/12=.11 per oz)$1.52 for a 16 oz jar (1.52/16=9.5cents per oz)The larger jar is a better value
Cost Per Serving Determine how many servings a given
amount will provide Divide the price for that amount by the
number of servings it will provide Example:
Fish fillets cost 1.80 per poundYou can serve 4 per pound
1.80/4=.45Pound of chicken $1.06Serves 2
1.06/2=.53
Store Brands and Generics
Store brands: brands specially produced for the store Generally equal in quality to name brands but less
expensive Generic items:
items produced without a commercial or store brand name
Usually less expensive Labels not as eye-catching
Other Money Saving Ideas
Use your shopping list Look for sale items Pre-check the unit price of products you buy
regularly Consider Bulk Foods Don’t buy more food than you can store Be aware of strategies to encourage impulse
buying
Nutrition, Quality, and Food Safety
Read labels carefully Check the date on the package Use the “Nutrition Facts” Panels Avoid packages that are dirty, rusty, leaking,
or damaged in any other way Harmful bacteria could of gotten into the food
Avoid frozen food packages frosted with ice Package may have thawed a little and was refrozen
Keep fragile items in one part of your cart Plan your route through the store
Ensure your food stays at the correct temperature

contents Return a product to its proper place if you
decided not to buy it Handle produce gently
