Grocery Shopping Tips

Sep 06, 2021

Never go shopping on an empty stomach!
- This can lead to impulsive buying and spending
Plan ahead
- Create a menu for the week ahead and make a list of ingredients needed from the store
- Categorize your list so that you are not going back and forth between departments
Shop the outer isles of the grocery store
- Spend most of your time in produce, meat, and dairy
- If desired, make your way to the frozen and canned foods isle last
Check nutrition labels
- Shop for foods with less added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium
Reach to the back on the shelves
- Items are typically stocked first-in, first-out so make sure you are reaching to the back for the freshest options
Sign-up for discounts and loyalty cards
- These allow you to see what is on sale and save money on your grocery bill
Consider grocery pick-up services
- These services can help you avoid the temptation to buy trigger foods in the grocery store
