The Food Shop
Before you buy too much, make sure you have the storage space to keep your bulk buys and follow these steps.
Make a list of the products you buy and use the most.
From your list, buy the biggest quantities you can afford (just make sure you're actually saving).
Join wholesale clubs like Costco and Booker to make the most of bulk discounts, but be sure to check you are eligible to join 1st. Some may charge a small fee, but the savings are usually well worth it.
You can also consider buying directly from a supplier by joining a food co-op, this will give you the best savings as you avoid all retailers mark up fees. There are a few rules to consider before you start or join a co-op, so check out www.uk.coop for more details.

It helps to be flexible and always haggle. The deals are best done over the phone.
