I personally love a good bargain, and any time I shop online I spend as much time as I can looking for offers, discount codes and vouchers.
If the post proves popular, I may turn it into a monthly series! I find that doing the food shop online is easier because I can sit down with my shopping list, stick to it, and don't have to deal with a busy shop and till.
Some of the voucher codes I found are for new customers only. It's always worth trying to set up an account with a different email address and your other half's name! I have got a lot of savings by setting up new accounts.
Money Saving Tips When Food Shopping
Plan You Meals First
It helps to save so much time to have your meals planned out. Even if you just have a rough idea of some meals you want to include for the week, you can then work backwards to get the ingredients needed to make it.
This also helps ensure you have everything you need in to make the recipe you want to eat.

Make a list, and separate it into sections
Whether you are going to the shop directly or ordering online, it always helps to stick to a list. Following a list can also assist with budgeting.
I always split my shopping lists into sections such as dairy, meat, fruit and veg etc. rather than just having a random list.
Stick to a budget
Don't get lured into the tactics that big supermarkets use to get you to spend more money than you intended. Get the items on your list and stick to it.
Even if there is an amazing bargain, decide if it's something you really need or just want.
Make the most of your freezer
If you buy a lot of fresh meat, utilise your freezer and freeze what you won't be using immediately. Just remember to remove it to defrost in the fridge 24 hours before you intend on cooking it.
