Grocery Shopping Tips

Some guidelines for grocery shopping - You've heard the line, "Stay on the perimeters of the grocery store", no? This helps you stay away from the snack, sugary drinks and processed foods! I take this one further and only go into an aisle if I need something there. No impulse shopping in an aisle! Also, if you haven't eaten recently, consider having a healthy snack including something protein before you shop. This actually will save you time and money in the long run. emoticon

    Make a LIST before u ever go to the store and stay with what is on the list. Keep a detailed inventory of what you have in your kitchen, and don't buy things you have no need for. 1/3rd of grocery money is wasted on items people had no intention of buy. (That is what MARKETING is all about, getting YOUR money out of your pocket.)

    Someone else must have learned the things I was taught when I worked for a grocery store change. Produce, meat, dairy, and frozen foods are all on the perimeters.

    Always eat something before entering a grocery store. If you're hungry when you enter it will be a disaster!
