Savings ... Buy groceries on Friday.
据2008年5月25日《每日电讯报》报道，一项最新的研究发现，星期五到超市购物价格最廉宜，每周可为消费者购买杂货食品节省20%。
零售商为即将来临的周末推出特价商品使每周五成为最佳购物日，消费者如果能利用这些特价商品机会，每年可省数百澳元。
该项结论是对Coles、Woolworths、IGA和ALDI等主要超市进行调查后得出的。通常来说，星期二上午是最安静的购物时段，而星期一则最适合购买非急需的必备物品，比如手纸和洗衣粉，因为这些商品更有可能在这一时段进行促销。
该调查建议，如果可能的话，每个星期最好分三次购物来节省开支。每周四最好到Kmart、Target和Big W这些折价店购物，因为这些商店特价时段正好是星期四。

Buy on Fridays to save money
May 25, 2008 12:00am Article from: The Sunday Telegraph
FRIDAY is the cheapest day to shop at Australian supermarkets, new research has shown. Shoppers can score hundreds of bargains and slash 20 per cent off their weekly grocery bill by making the end of the working week their main shopping day.
The findings, released by Australia's largest infield marketing firm, The Bailey Group, found Fridays were the best days because retailers rolled out specials for the weekend trade.
Divisional managing director of The Bailey Group Steve Wootten said shoppers could save hundreds of dollars each year if they took advantage of late-week specials.
"Without a doubt, Friday is the best day to get a trolley full of supermarket bargains,'' he said.
Mr Wootten was quick to warn that doing the weekly shop on Fridays did come with a caveat.
Shoppers not only risked having unstocked shelves but busier crowds often meant heightened stress levels.
"It is a risk, because hot specials that start on a Monday might not be there,'' he said.
"Retailers try their best to ensure they have the specials but if demand is higher than their forecast they could run out of stock.''
The week-long study, which was undertaken earlier this year, involved 1300 auditors visiting both major and independent supermarket chains, including Coles, Woolworths, IGA and Aldi.
Other key findings revealed Tuesday morning was the quietest shopping time, while Mondays were the best days to shop for in-demand staples, such as toilet paper and laundry powder, as they were more likely to be on shelves.
Mr Wootten believed shoppers needed to make multiple trips through the week to cut grocery bills.
"We would anticipate that if you pick each of these days to do your shopping and took advantage of those bargains, you would save about 20 per cent on your shopping bill.''
He also added that Thursdays were the best days to visit discount chains, such as Kmart, Target and Big W, as their specials on big-ticket items coincided with pay day.
Woolworths spokesman Luke Schepen denied that Fridays were the cheapest shopping days and instead said customers were "offered great value every day''.
On any given week, Woolworths had 4000 specials in-store and occasionally added another 10 towards the end of the week for frequent shoppers.
Kylie Rogers, of Narara on the Central Coast, said she prefers to shop on Mondays as stores were generally better stocked then.
The mother-of-two currently stocks up on staples as they go on special and hunts around for bargains and said she would look into shopping on Fridays to complement her habits. |
