理智購物
Before you go to the supermarket,you should check to see what you have at home.Look in your refrigerator and freezer.Also be sure to check your kitchen cabinets to see if you have sugar,salt,bread,etc.Then you should make a list of what you need.Organize the list according to the department in the supermarket.For example,list all the dairy products_milk,eggs,butter,etc-together.
At the supermarket, you should buy only what you need and what you can use.Supermarket advertise a lot and offer "specials" because they want you to buy a lot.Be careful.And remember these important points.Don't shop when you're hungry,tired,or in a hurry,and don't shop when the stores are crowded.

價格比較訣竅
When you are shopping in the supermarket,you should compare prices.To determine the best price,first compare the net weights.If the net weights of the two items are the same,compare the prices to determine the cheapest.
If the net weights are not the same,you have to find out the unit price.The unit price is the price of an item per unit measure,for example,one ounce,one quart,one pound.Supermarkets give you this information.They tell you the name of the item,weight,unit price,and the price that you pay.
