DOS AND DONTS FOR SHOPPERS
DO go to markets early in the morning for the freshest fruit and vegetables. Ask to taste
things before you buy.
DO look on the lower and higher shelves in supermarkets. The most expensive brands
are always at eye level.
DO read the label when you buy food. The ingredients are listed in order of quantity
(the largest quantity comes first).
DON’T go shopping for food if you are hungry. Hungry people always buy too much!
DON’T buy everything online. There’s no customer service when things go wrong and
there might be extra costs like taxes and credit card handling charges.
DON’T take the children! If you buy only five percent of everything they ask for, you
will waste lots of money.
