Consumers paid a whopping 15,76% for these items compared to June, according to IPCA results. With so many increases, every Brazilian is asking if they can pay less at the supermarket.

Monthly inflation is really scary. With so much growth, it can be difficult to achieve good savings, but fortunately, there are strategies that can help. As they are considered essential foods, consumers need to remember what portion of their monthly income will be spent on purchasing food.

Knowing how much your family is spending is a good start to saving and organizing your purchases. With this information, the search turns to items that can be replaced with cheaper items. For example: the possibility of changing brands.

To mitigate monthly inflation, another tip is to look for supermarket apps that consumers are used to shopping with. They are alerted daily with promotions that can save them a lot of money at the end of the month.

This way, the time it takes to go from one market to another can be saved, as well as fuel savings. For many families, buying food every week is another way to save money. In addition to taking advantage of this week's discounts, individuals avoid wasting food.

The savings may not seem like much, but considering the amount accumulated each month, there will certainly be a big difference in consumers' pockets. To give you an idea, food grew 11,42% in the last three months alone. Some essential items, such as beans, are on average 30% more expensive.
