Avoid taking children with you for grocery shopping. Children tend to be one of the major reasons why there is an increase in the grocery bill. They tend to force parents by emotionally blackmailing them (crying etc.) hence forcing parents to buy stuff which is expensive as well as not good for their child’s health.

Avoiding coming in contact with a salesperson promoting some offers or a new product is highly recommended to be avoided. It is all a trick. Make yourself realize this. Their purpose is to sell. If you see to come in contact with them, they will talk you into buying the product which might not be of any use to you. You should also keep a check on the brands you are purchasing. Perhaps the brands you are choosing are more expensive than the others. The evident difference between the brands you generally use and others might be just of little money but it brings a significant difference in the final bill.
