Price per unit is your best friend. That giant bag of rice might look cheap, but the 100g price reveals if it’s actually a steal. Always check the shelf label—it’s the fine print of thrift shopping. Another hack: shop without a list but with a budget cap. Give yourself £20 and see how far you can stretch it at Aldi.
Don’t forget yellow stickers. These mark down items about to expire. The holy grail is finding a rotisserie chicken for 50% off at 8pm. It’s like winning the lottery, but with more gravy.
