Asked about her savvy grocery shopping strategy, Chantel shared:
"My only plan is honesty, just adding on things that I don’t have, so before I do shopping, I check what I have and don’t have so I only get what I need."
"Res life is a struggle, especially when it comes to money. I struggle with saving, but one thing I know for sure is to always start with groceries before spending on "wants" so that even when I go broke before my next allowance, I’ve got food in my closet.
According to Ramsey, grocery shopping on a budget is easy once you get the hang of it. Your money can only do what you tell it to do, so you must be intentional and wise with your choices.
Chantel certainly knows how to stretch her rands. Watch the video below:
Grocery shopping can be expensive, but there are ways to save money. South African retailer Makro suggests bulk-buying non-perishable items, as this can be a cost-effective way to stock up your pantry. When you buy in bulk, you often save on the cost of packaging, which is also good for the environment.
