Faced with aisles upon aisles of products, the grocery shop can be a daunting experience. Here are some helpful tips to make your visit to the shops that much less stressful.Do one big monthly grocery shop for all staples, and smaller weekly trips to the shops for fresh fruits, vegetables, milk and bread.
A common reason why people don’t eat well is because they are too disorganised. Disorganised shopping leads to disorganised meals. Make a list every time you go into a food store. Not only will you save money but you will also stock up on good, healthy foods.
Most people are unable to get to the shops more than once a week and complain that buying fresh vegetables daily is an inconvenience. Stock up on frozen vegetables like baby carrots, peas, broccoli, brussel sprouts and corn, and use the frozen vegetables on busy days when you can’t get to the stores.
Always purchase low-fat (or even better, non-fat) options of dairy products such as milk, yoghurt and cheese.
Refrain from shopping with younger children.
Pass the chocolates and sweets aisle altogether if temptation is too rife.
Always shop on a full stomach. Studies have shown that hungry shoppers are more likely to buy unhealthy foods then those who shop on a full stomach.
