IF you run over your grocery budget every time you run your grocery store, you might be reading a page from this shopper’s book who shared a very clever supermarket hack.
The savvy shopper posted on an Australian budget Facebook page detailing how to avoid over-spending – and it works every time.

While sticking to a list and shopping for cheap items can be useful, the Australian shopper has another trick up his sleeve.
On the Facebook page Budgeting, Groceries, Saving Ideas, Stocking, Life Help Australia it was shown that the trick only has to do with your car and the placement of the items.
“To keep my budget, I group the groceries in the stores into roughly $ 10 piles,” they wrote in a post, along with a photo of items contained in a shopping cart.
You don’t have to do this exact amount either, which is roughly £ 5.50 as any amount can work depending on your budget.

In the photo, the buyer has divided a selection of fruits, vegetables, dips, delicacies and other items into eight groups within the cart.
They revealed that the entire store was priced at around $ 80 – which was known to them before they hit the checkout thanks to the hack.
This particular shop had some “fancy things” that they “don’t always get,” which meant they got far fewer items than the budget normally allows.
But they said the idea was to “keep track” to avoid the cash register shock.
The post garnered hundreds of comments from people who were quite impressed with the hack.

Many admitted that they usually do math in their heads when shopping or use the calculator on their cell phones.
“I take a list and keep my calculator open on my phone,” said one person, admitting that they usually round up the amounts to avoid skipping.
“I never thought of that. Great idea,” wrote another in the comments.
While a third said, “I like this idea of grouping things together so you can do math more easily.”
