Rather than going to the catered\u00a0halls, learn how to go food shopping in Loughborough. From budgeting to buying in bulk, keep reading for 12 tips for food shopping in Loughborough!<\/p>\n<h3>1. Don\u2019t shop on an empty stomach.<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s a mistake. Every. Single. Time. You\u2019ll end up buying things you don\u2019t need i.e. chocolate.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>2. Budget!<\/h3>\n<p>Decide how much you\u2019re going to spend on each shop before going to the supermarket which will keep you disciplined and create good shopping habits. Having a solid budget is probably the most important of tips for food shopping.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>3. Compare prices and shop around.<\/h3>\n<p>You might not be getting full value for money, as sometimes the 99p store is selling your favourite brand of shampoo whilst you\u2019re splashing out \u00a35.99 for it in Tesco.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. Participate in online shopping with your flatmates.<\/h3>\n<p>You can save money and prioritise what you actually need. Also, you end up seeing the deals you don\u2019t necessarily get in stores and its delivered right to your door at a time that suits you!<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>5. Buy in bulk.<\/h3>\n<p>18 quality toilet rolls for \u00a35 is cheaper than 9 for \u00a33.50- be smart.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>6. Look for online vouchers and in-store deals.<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a car, Sainsbury\u2019s or Tesco do petrol points which saves you money off fuel every time you scan your Nectar or Clubcard.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>7. Sainsbury\u2019s and Tesco\u2019s own-brand are your friends.<\/h3>\n<p>Buying luxury brands isn\u2019t always necessary or feasible for a student. Try Tesco own-brand tomato puree or table salt, as generic products like these aren\u2019t likely to taste that different from more popular brands.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>8. Meal plan so you buy the right ingredients.<\/h3>\n<p>Planning your meals means you know what you\u2019re going to eat in advance so you don\u2019t suddenly run out of food mid-week and you can create your lunches\/ dinners the night before, particularly if you have a busy schedule.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>9. Cook in bulk.<\/h3>\n<p>Buying one portion of food at a time is laborious and money-wasting, cook in batches and invest in Tupperware to freeze it so you have meals for the week when you don\u2019t have time to cook!<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>10. Buy frozen.<\/h3>\n<p>Frozen veg is your friend; it stays fresh and doesn\u2019t go off so you\u2019re not pressured to finish a whole bag of carrots in three days.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Share perishables with your flatmates.<\/h3>\n<p>If you buy fresh, split salad and fruit items with your friends so it\u2019s cheaper and they won\u2019t go off before u get a chance to eat them.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>12. Most importantly, buy your alcohol at the supermarket!<\/h3>\n<p>This is so much cheaper than buying it from the Student Union and there\u2019s usually a new deal on label vodka\/rum\/beer every week (remember your ID though!).<\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>What are your tips for food shopping in Loughborough?
