Surely many of you have noticed that the prices of organic products are usually higher than the average. The reason is simple – growing such vegetables and fruits is more expensive, they cannot be stored for a long time. So, it turns out that, on average, eco-products cost 20 percent more. Is there a way to make spending on food a little less budget-friendly?
Many may be indignant, how is it to save on your health? Others will object: what to do if our products become more expensive 40 times faster than in the EU? Where is the golden mean? This article will tell you about some simple ways to save money on groceries.
All by yourself
The first option for saving may be a phenomenon already familiar to Russian reality – growing your own vegetables in the garden or in the country. This is suitable for those who like to spend time on the ground, taking care of plantings. And also for those who have enough time for it.
You can also ask your grandmother and other relatives to share the harvest with you. And you can buy food in the nearest village, having agreed with one of the locals. This option is great for those who drink milk and eat eggs – it is not difficult to find a farm with a cow and a chicken near the city. You can also agree on the “supply” of vegetables, berries and mushrooms. Usually the cost of these products will not be so high, and you will be one hundred percent sure of their quality. In this case, there is only one difficulty – you have to go out of town to pick up purchases. Once a week you can go, but this is not always convenient.
Green supermarkets
Many have already seen that specialized stores and supermarkets have begun to appear in the big cities of Russia, offering a wide range of bio-products. However, it is in them that the prices do not bite very pleasantly. The opportunity to save money here is this: follow promotions and sales, because probably in the evening for some products the price tags change to more attractive ones. If you are going to eat the product today, then this is suitable for you.
Another option could be a loyalty card of such supermarkets, but, frankly, you won’t be able to get big discounts with it.
To the market
You can go to the market, where the opportunity to buy non-GMO products is higher than in a regular hypermarket. Prices in the market are often lower than in the store. You can also try to bargain with sellers there, especially if you come to the same tray regularly. There is one significant drawback in going to the market – they are not open 24 hours a day. Therefore, for those who spend a lot of time at work, it is not very convenient. The solution may be to buy groceries a week ahead at the weekend, but eco-products are stored less, so in any case, you will have to visit some more stores.
For advanced
Many Russians are already switching to ordering food products via the Internet. This option is not suitable for everyone, because not everyone trusts online stores. However, now there are already a lot of Internet portals that provide home delivery services for fresh products. This saves a lot of time, effort and money. Yes, yes, because online trading does not need to rent premises and pay sellers.
Secondly, you can find a special promotional code for a discount in such stores (see the website for an example). ). Promotional codes or coupons are provided for free, because this is one of the ways for an online store to express itself and attract customers. Discounts can be up to 30%, sometimes you can get free shipping on purchases with a coupon, this is also a nice bonus. For those who decide to try it, we recommend starting with an order using a coupon for Sferm products.

Thus, you can save even on the purchase of eco-products, the main thing is to approach this issue wisely. We wish you health and profitable shopping!
