Dear readers, with high costs of living becoming now the norm, I believe many of us are looking at ways to see how best we can save some monies, in all aspects of our lives.
Discretionary expenses aside, I believe many of us spend a bulk of our monies on meals and groceries. Hence, if we can save a few cents or dollars with each meal and grocery transaction, here and there, the savings will add up to a decent sum over time.
I saved 33% from my recent grocery purchase on butter, and on the same brand of butter (hence savings was not via choosing a cheaper brand of butter).
How did I do that? Well I believe many would think that I have patronised a bargain shop, well, it was not.
In essence, I saved 33% from buying the same brand of butter at the same store all through observation. The store sells the butter in its cube form at 200 gram for a promotional price of $6.66, this versus the same butter in 20 mini cubes of 9 g butter in the easier to serve package.
Based on simple mathematics, the cost of the butter per gram is $0.0333 (cube form) versus $0.0442 (in the mini cubes format). I bought the 200g of butter in the cube form, which is hence cheaper than the mini cube butter by 33% or a third!
Beside saving monies, the cube form is more environmental friendly as only a piece of paper wrapper is to be disposed of, versus quite a couple of plastic tabs from the mini cube butters.
