Shop for specials. Eg. Every week they rotate brands so one of the ice creams and 1L yoghurts will always be on special, usually for $3.99. Go one step further like I do and get it when the brand you like; like Tip Top is $3.99 instead of the usual $5.99 My Foodtown always marks bakery breads and rolls down to 1/2 anywhere after 8.30pm every night, and marked down cakes that don’t sell are cleared to be binned wed night, so its a sure bet if what you like is not sold out, you’ll find it that night.
