Smart shopping

Practical guide

A good shopping list starts at home: check cupboards, compare the unit price, keep receipts and avoid false urgency from online adverts.

A simple weekly rhythm

Start with one small action. A clear list is easier to improve than a perfect plan that is never used.

Keep copies of important documents and write down the date, organisation and name of anyone you speak to.

When a decision involves contracts, welfare, health or debt, check the official organisation or an independent adviser before acting.
