Common Types of Promotions
1. Direct Discounts
Price reduction marked on the label. Look for products with yellow or red labels indicating promotion.
2. Buy 2 Get 1 and Buy 3 Get 2
Ideal for non-perishable products you use regularly:
- Soap and detergent
- Toilet paper
- Canned products
- Cereals
3. Special Volume Prices
Buying in larger quantity reduces the price per unit. Works best for:
- Rice (25-50 pound bags)
- Beans
- Oil (jugs)
How to Identify Real Deals
Not all "deals" represent real savings. Follow these guidelines:
Signs of a Genuine Deal
- The previous price is clearly marked
- The discount is at least 15%
- The product has a good expiration date
- It's a product you really need
Warning Signs
- It only says "Deal" without showing previous price
- The "discount" is less than 10%
- The product is near expiration without significant discount
- It's something you hadn't planned to buy
Strategies to Combine Deals
Plan Your Shopping Route
Instead of buying everything at one supermarket:
- Check deals at each store before leaving
- Group products by store with best price
- Calculate if it's worth the extra trip
Practical Example
A family saved L. 800 in one week:
- Fruits at La Colonia (Wednesday): Saved L. 150
- Meats at PriceSmart: Saved L. 400
- Groceries at La Antorcha: Saved L. 250
