A new survey shows 48% of us intentionally overspends!
Preparation is key to avoid overspending at the supermarket.
That's the advice from midlands budgeting expert Caz Mooney, as a new survey shows almost half of consumers said 'buy one get one free' offers often lead them to purchasing items they don't really need.
The survey, carried out by Coyne Research, found shoppers who use coupons are actually spending an additional €477 a year.
The Offaly woman, who runs irishbudgeting.com, advises staying alert while shopping:
