Plan before you shop
Before shopping for groceries, it’s always a good habit to make a shopping list so that you’ll only buy what you need. Also, you won’t make additional trips just for one or two items that you had missed out. Here are some planning tips:
• Go through your cabinets and refrigerator to see what you need to replenish.
• Involve your spouse and children when planning the menu of the week and note the ingredients you need.
• Always list exactly what the family needs and check your shopping list.
Bigger is better
Buying in bulk makes good ringgit sense. Therefore, when you have a chance to buy a larger quantity of your favourite brand at a discounted price – grab it! Look out for extra value such as “100g more” for beverages and milk powder. Multi packs of instant noodles (5+1 FREE) are clearly better value than individual packs. For items you consume or use regularly, buy “family size” or jumbo packs if they are available (breakfast cereals, juice drinks, toothpaste, milk powder, etc.)
Better value in every bite
Products with active ingredients give added value in terms of health benefits. Innovations in active ingredients from NESTLÉ® help give you and your family a head start in life. For example, NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS® ACTICOL™ with added plant sterols is the first milk product in Malaysia that offers triple goodness:
Plants sterols to lower cholesterol, high calcium for strong bones and the right balance of Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids.
