Yes, confinement is back and with it all the gymnastics of reconciling schedules, managing the spaces in the house and, of course, the dynamics of meals. It takes organization and flexibility, which seems to become even more complicated when you add health precautions and wallet management to the equation. However, there are always ways to make your supermarket shopping pay off, both in terms of the expense and the travel required to keep the pantry stocked and the house virus-free!<\/h3>\n

So that you can reduce the number of trips to the supermarket while keeping your fridge stocked with everything you need for tasty meals, we’ve prepared 5 tips that promise to make your supermarket shopping pay off during this new lockdown:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Budget<\/strong>
    <\/strong>Set an amount to spend on food. If you’re a Euroticket Refei\u00e7\u00e3o<\/a>\u00a0user, this task becomes easier, mainly because you have more purchasing power and the amount you set can be that of your meal card. If this is not the case, set the amount aside. This step will help you give in to unnecessary temptations and make your supermarket purchases pay off!<\/li>\n
  2. Plan your meals
    <\/strong>Now it’s time to plan your meals. Don’t forget to write down everything you need on a list! This will help you focus on what you really need and avoid wasting too much time in the supermarket at a time when your time outside should be reduced to what is strictly necessary. If you want to make your supermarket shopping pay off, especially during this new lockdown, you really need to make lists!<\/li>\n
  3. When to go
    <\/strong>It’s important that, after evaluating the amount of food that is consumed daily in your home, you decide how often you go to the supermarket that best suits your and your family’s routines. This may seem like an unnecessary step, but the truth is that it’s essential if you want to make the most of your grocery shopping! Decide whether you want to shop weekly, fortnightly or even for the month and stick to it. This will help you not to leave the house so much and will make it easier for you to control your spending!<\/li>\n
  4. Don’t forget the details!
    <\/strong>If you want to make your supermarket shopping pay off, while protecting yourself and complying with the rules and recommendations of this new lockdown, there are little things you can do that will help you a lot, such as:<\/strong>1. Buy food that can be used for various recipes;\n

    2. Try to go to the supermarket in the morning, when there are fewer people and the store hasn’t had many customers yet;<\/p>\n

    3. Put food with a longer expiration date at the bottom of the shelf.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Have you written down all the steps? Now it’s time to put them into practice and prove that it’s possible to make your grocery shopping pay off, not just during this new lockdown, but always!<\/p>\n
