Given the inflation we are currently experiencing, any tip is a good one to take to save your money. On her Instagram account, Charlotte explained the IMC method which has proven itself in her household.
Prices have been inflating for some time, and this unfortunately affects our shopping budget. This must have increased with prices, despite the tricks of all kinds and the restrictions that many were already doing. Such as not using big brands but buying products from partner brands, or even limiting the consumption of meat and fish or even fruit and vegetables.
On her Instagram account @organizen_green_mama, Charlotte revealed a tip which, according to her, is very effective to save him money when shopping, while his household is made up of 6 people. This method, called IMC, is based on a food budget management technique which is not widely used because it is “often perceived as off-putting”as Charlotte explained.
