Without a doubt, food represents one of the biggest, if not the biggest, portions of a family\u2019s budget.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/1652149\/filipinos-spend-a-third-of-their-budget-for-food-says-study\">report<\/a> released by Kantar, a marketing data and analytics company, shows that at the height of the pandemic in 2020, Filipinos allocated up to 37% of their monthly income on food and groceries. In 2022, this has reportedly gone down to 31% but still, it\u2019s evident that food takes up a substantial allocation of Filipinos\u2019 monthly budget.<\/p>\n<p>With constantly rising food prices, it\u2019s undoubtedly a challenge to make the most out of every cent. Now that we\u2019re facing high inflation rates, how exactly can we save on food and groceries? We offer three easy and practical steps that we hope you find useful.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Save Money when Buying Groceries<\/strong><\/h2>\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">1.

Of course, this amount can vary every time, but try to peg it as a certain percentage of your monthly net take-home pay for easy and efficient monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if your net take-home pay is P25,000 per month, how much do you think you can allot for food and groceries? Make sure to decide on a comfortable level of monthly grocery expenditure.<\/p>\n<p>In our previous article\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/socioeconomic-class-philippines-rich\/\">Defining who\u2019s rich: How rich is \u201crich\u201d in the Philippines?<\/a>\u00a0we\u2019ve seen that:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High-income families<\/strong> spend 20% of their income on food;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Middle-class families<\/strong> allot 35% of their income on food; while<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low-income families<\/strong> prioritize food and represents 54% of their monthly income<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, households in the Philippines on average typically allot around one-third of their income on food. You can begin by allocating, say, 35% of your take-home pay to food and groceries, just like the data about middle-class families. <\/p>\n<p>Take note that this budget should include all your food expenses, such as dining out, snacks, and weekend trips to the grocery. So if your monthly take-home pay is P25,000, you can start with an allocation of P8,750  \u2014 that\u2019s 35% x P25,000 \u2014 for food and groceries every month.<\/p>\n<p>Having a fixed food budget amount helps you control your expenses. Of course, the key is to make sure you stick to this budget every month.<\/p>\n<p>But what if the budget cannot really cover food grocery items? That\u2019s when we suggest the next tip.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip #2: Prepare a grocery list with two sections \u2014 \u201cMust Buy\u201d and \u201cSplurge\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before heading to the grocery, prepare a grocery list containing two sections \u2014 \u201cMust Buy\u201d and \u201cSplurge\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cMust Buy\u201d items are, of course, the food items which you absolutely need to buy, such as meat, rice, vegetables, condiments and other food items, beverages, toiletries, required household products, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cSplurge\u201d items are the \u201cluxuries\u201d or \u201cextra items\u201d which you can and should only buy if you still haven\u2019t used up your grocery budget.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-dbf2060e\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"876\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-dbf2060e\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/saving-tips-money-hacks.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"saving-tips-money-hacks\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/saving-tips-money-hacks.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/saving-tips-money-hacks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/saving-tips-money-hacks-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/saving-tips-money-hacks-768x575.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\"\/><figcaption class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-bccbc571 gb-headline-text\"><em>The \u201cMust Buy\u201d list should include food items which you absolutely need to buy, while items in your \u201cSplurge\u201d list are the \u201cluxuries\u201d or \u201cextra items.\u201d <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Some people at first might have difficulty separating the two. But in reality, some \u201cMust Buy\u201d items can actually be placed in the \u201cSplurge\u201d list. For example, some people would argue that coffee is a necessity \u2014 that could be true \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t have to be a pricey Starbucks coffee all the time.<\/p>\n<p>For your \u201cMust Buy\u201d list, yes, add coffee, but once you\u2019re at the grocery store, opt for a more affordable 3-in-1 or other cheaper coffee products that can still satisfy your caffeine fix. Include that Starbucks coffee on your \u201cSplurge\u201d list, and only indulge if you still have extra cash after buying all items in your \u201cMust Buy\u201d list.<\/p>\n<p>For families with kids, here\u2019s another example: snacks, chips, and candies may seem like a necessity, and that\u2019s partly true. But you can save money by deferring the purchase of expensive snack items. Instead of the usual chips, chocolates, candies, or ice cream, consider offering your children tasty fruits that are healthier and sometimes even more budget-friendly. You can also prepare delicious fruit-based desserts, as these are sometimes cheaper compared to pricey chocolates or ice cream.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not suggesting you totally abstain from buying chips, candies, and chocolates, but move these items from your \u201cMust Buy\u201d list to your \u201cSplurge\u201d list and only purchase them if your budget allows it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip #3: Compute the price per unit and choose the option with the cheaper price per unit.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s another savings hack: always take the time to compare the price per unit of items you plan to purchase, and choose the option that offers the cheaper price per unit. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Calculating the price per unit<\/strong> is one of the most effective yet underrated strategies you can adopt. This savvy technique not only stretches the purchasing power of your wallet, but also ensures that you get the best value for your hard-earned money.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works: instead of merely glancing at the price tag, take out your calculator or your phone\u2019s calculator and compute the price per gram, liter, or any other relevant unit of measurement. Then, select the product that offers the most value for your money.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at this example. We compared the prices of four brands of cheese hotdogs below. At first glance, which one is cheaper?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-b4a0849d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" onload=\"Wpfcll.r(this,true);\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2346\" height=\"1074\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-b4a0849d\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tipid-tips-savings-hack-price-per-unit-grocery.jpg\" alt=\"blank\" title=\"Tipid-tips-savings-hack-price-per-unit-grocery\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tipid-tips-savings-hack-price-per-unit-grocery.jpg 2346w, https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tipid-tips-savings-hack-price-per-unit-grocery-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tipid-tips-savings-hack-price-per-unit-grocery-1024x469.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tipid-tips-savings-hack-price-per-unit-grocery-768x352.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tipid-tips-savings-hack-price-per-unit-grocery-1536x703.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pinoymoneytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tipid-tips-savings-hack-price-per-unit-grocery-2048x938.jpg 2048w\" data-wpfc-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 2346px) 100vw, 2346px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The cheapest appears to be Robina Farms Cheese Hotdogs as it <em>only <\/em>costs P78.00 per pack. But look at the packaging closely and check the weight of each item. They\u2019re not exactly the same. Robina Farms Cheese Hotdogs is a 250-gram pack, while Purefoods Tender Juicy Cheesedog and CDO Idol Cheesedog are both 500-g packs, and Frabelle Yummy Cheesedog is a 1-kg pack.<\/p>\n<p>This is where calculating the price per unit comes in handy.

Purefoods Tender Juicy Cheesedog has a price per unit of P0.264 per gram, while Frabelle Yummy Cheesedog\u2019s price per unit is P0.209 per gram. In the end, CDO Idol Cheesedog appears to have the cheapest price per unit at P0.192 per gram. <\/p>\n<p>Taste and quality, of course, are still important factors to consider but if you\u2019re looking for grocery items that can give you the best value for your money, opt for items that are relatively cheaper in terms of price per unit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extra Tipid Tip!<\/strong> Take advantage of promos or bundles offered by grocery stores.
