Help with groceries

Plan your meals

Having a meal plan for the week can make shopping easier and reduce how much you spend. You can make a plan based on the food you already have at home, which can help you spend less.

Find out more about meal planning and get sample plans on the Eat for Health website.

Shop cheaper

To save money on your grocery shop:

• buy items when they’re on special
• check the unit price to compare similar items
• shop around for the best price.

Learn more about unit pricing for groceries on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission website.
