I have to admit, grocery shopping isnt exactly one of my favorite things to do. In case you cant hear the sarcasm in my voice, let me tell you that Id rather be doing just about anything other than grocery shopping. I tried delegating it to my husband, but we usually end up eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and potato chips when I do that.
Since I cant avoid grocery shopping, I found a few things that make it a more pleasant and most importantly a faster process. Id like to share my grocery shopping tips with you.
1) Make a shopping list and stick to it.
Making a list and sticking to it will keep you from buying too much junk. Not only will it encourage you and your family to stick to the new healthy eating lifestyle, it will also save you some money on your grocery bill.
Please apply common sense to this though. If you remember that you forgot to put your babys diapers on the list, by all means get them. On the other hand, if you feel tempted to get the new chocolate pie because there is a two for one sale, skip it. You get the idea.
2) Eat a snack before you go grocery shopping.
Never go grocery shopping while you are hungry....
