Shopping savings can come from the grocery store, the household aisle and the brand on a tool. Retail analyst Bruce Winder and Shane Hewitt offer ten practical approaches to paying less for everyday purchases. Which changes could make a difference to the next shopping bill?

A full-service supermarket and a discount grocer build different costs into the shopping experience. Household basics bring another comparison: the familiar retailer versus the dollar store. Bruce identifies where those differences could matter, including the trade-offs in size, selection and presentation.

Sale events, loyalty rewards, store brands and second-hand goods round out the options. An occasional DIY project does not necessarily call for the same purchase as a contractor’s daily work. The question is what suits the job, what it costs and whether there is a better time to buy.
