You can forge a price tag at home and bring it with you when you shop. When you go to the store, have your forged price tag ready, as each item. Compare the prices of the goods to your homemade price tag and buy only if the price is within your limits. This way, you’ll be able to save on those items where ever-increasing retail prices are affecting your budget negatively while buying essential items at regular price tags will still remain an option.

At the supermarket, look for store brand items that are identical or similar to national brands. They tend to be significantly cheaper and can often be found with manufacturer's coupons. You may also want to try buying in bulk, taking advantage of sales and discounts when possible. Additionally, comparison shop between stores by using sales flyers and price per unit calculations to find the most cost-effective option for the items you need. Finally, make sure you don’t overlook any discounts—such as seniors or students discounts—that might be available which could save you more money!
