In times when food prices rise steadily, it is essential for many consumers to save when buying a week. Whether as a result of global crises or through other economic influences – the prices in the supermarkets for staple food such as flour, oil, pasta and even mineral water and dosing tomatoes have increased. But how can you save despite such developments when shopping?
The role of weekday and the right time when saving
Many consider discounts and special offers to save money. But that’s not necessarily the case. An online contribution from Fit for Fun shows that the day of the week on which is bought plays an important role in how much is spent in the end.
Fit for Fun reports that a particularly large number of offers and cheap bargains are waiting for customers at the end of the week. Friday is particularly characterized. On this day there are more reduced goods compared to other days, which means that consumers can save. The subsequent Saturday follows densely with many advertising areas and is therefore the second most favorable day of the week.
In addition to the day of the week, the time of day can also have a significant impact on the savings, as Chip reports in an online contribution. In the afternoon, especially from 4 or 5 p.m., supermarkets tend to reduce easily perishable foods or products that soon run. This serves to avoid food waste and at the same time give customers the opportunity to get high -quality products at a fraction of the price.
In larger cities and densely populated areas, the competition under supermarkets is greater, which often leads to cheaper prices for customers, Chip continues. Here it depends on the interaction of supply and demand. The more supermarkets there are, the more likely it is that they will compete with the favor of customers, which can lead to better prices.
Action offers based on various supermarkets
In addition to these findings, various supermarkets and discounters announced their preferred campaign offers on certain days of the week, as reports of the vest in an online contribution:
Aldi, known for his division in Aldi Süd and Aldi Nord, stands out through special offers, which can be found in particular on four days a week. The week begins on Monday with cheap deals, which will then continue on Wednesday, as the vest reports. Friday also offers tempting offers that reach into Saturday and thus make it pleasantly make shopping for the weekend.
Lidl and Kaufland have a slightly different strategy. Here it is worth using the start of the week for purchasing on Monday. The vest also reports that Thursday is also evident from its affordable side. This continues on Friday and runs into Saturday, whereby you can search for bargains on all these days.
Netto, on the other hand, gives clear recommendations for shopping. The week starts with offers on Monday. However, if you have missed the start of the week, you have the chance to benefit from discounts from Thursday to Saturday again.
According to Derwesten, Penny also makes Monday attractive to buyers. Thursday and Friday follow with other offers, which, similar to other brands, extend into Saturday.
Rewe And Edeka, both known for an extensive range, concentrate your special offers and discounts, especially on two times: the start of the week on Monday and the entire weekend, according to the vests.
Finally, the vest reports that Norma is particularly high in lifting for three days, which focus on saving: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
