My french online bank has an interesting option to buy gift certificates for various stores at slightly discounted price.
I buy most of my groceries from Auchan and Super U and paying with these gift certificates, makes thing slightly cheaper.
That 4-5%, plus 10% discount once a week with my loyalty card and anti-gaspi finds, are helping me to cope with the high prices and low pension to get a rather decent food quality at home.
Like today, bought 5kg chicken breast marked down at -35% since expiration date is tomorrow. Got 10% off because it's my discount day and 5% on top of it with my gift certificates. So the price of it ended up being less than 6 euro a kilo. Which is about half the price our butcher is selling.
