Aprovechando los descuentos en el super / Taking advantage of supermarket discounts
Hace muchos a帽os, ve铆a un programa sobre personas que viv铆an del canje de cupos, logrando no solo comprar lo que necesitaban para el d铆a a d铆a, sino tener un stock de productos no perecederos en un almac茅n de su casa. Para mi, en medio de la crisis de Venezuela entre 2015 y 2018, cuando emigr茅 era un sue帽o poder hacer lo mismo, y aunque no lo hice para los pa铆ses que sal铆an en los programas, consegu铆 algo similar en Argentina.
En las grandes cadenas de supermercados y tiendas por departamento, hay un sistema de descuentos por d铆a que si las personas se organizan pueden aprovecharlas todas y ahorrar una gran cantidad de dinero.
Lamentablemente, muchas de estas tiendas quedan lejos de mi casa, y con el poco tiempo que tengo para salir, solo aprovecho algunas que coinciden los d铆as que tengo libre por las tardes.
Una de esas oportunidades la aprovech茅 en d铆as pasados cuando me llegu茅 hasta el supermercado DIA m谩s cercano a mi casa, luego de una caminata para completar mi entrenamiento diario de pasos.
Entr茅 por curiosidad, y vi galletas a muy buen precio, que decid铆 comprar para las meriendas de mis hijos, aunque en esta oportunidad iba sin mi acompa帽ante, quien es el que se encarga de la selecci贸n.
Aprovech茅 para ver el 谩rea de las heladeras, y encontr茅 postres de la marca de la misma cadena de tiendas, que resultan ser mucho m谩s econ贸micas que otras de marcas reconocidas, pero que luego de probarlas verifiqu茅 su excelente calidad.
Al momento de pagar la compra, aprovech茅 la ventaja del descuento que dan al pagar scaneando el QR desde mi aplicaci贸n de Mercado Pago, logrando salvar una cantidad de dinero que me sirvi贸 para completar un pago pendiente.
De ahora en m谩s, quiero programar hacer las compras cada 15 d铆as, para poder rendir el presupuesto, aunque luego me toque pagar el colectivo para traerme todas las bolsas.
Many years ago, I watched a program about people who made a living trading ration coupons, managing not only to buy what they needed for day-to-day life, but also to stockpile non-perishable goods in a storage room in their home. For me, in the midst of the crisis in Venezuela between 2015 and 2018, when I emigrated, it was a dream to be able to do the same, and although I didn't do it for the countries that appeared on the programs, I managed to do something similar in Argentina.
In large supermarket chains and department stores, there is a system of daily discounts that, if people organize themselves, they can take advantage of and save a lot of money.
Unfortunately, many of these stores are far from my home, and with the little time I have to go out, I only take advantage of some that coincide with the days I have off in the afternoons.
I took advantage of one of those opportunities a few days ago when I walked to the DIA supermarket closest to my house to complete my daily step count.
I went in out of curiosity and saw some cookies at a very good price, which I decided to buy for my children's snacks, even though on this occasion I was without my partner, who is usually in charge of selecting them.
I took the opportunity to look at the refrigerated section and found desserts from the same chain store brand, which are much cheaper than other well-known brands, but after trying them, I verified their excellent quality.
When paying for my purchase, I took advantage of the discount they give when you pay by scanning the QR code from my Mercado Pago app, saving me enough money to cover an outstanding payment.
From now on, I want to plan to do my shopping every 15 days so I can make my budget stretch further, even if it means paying for the bus to bring all my bags home.
