5 Tips for Health Food Shopping

5 Tips for Healthy Food Shopping

You want to outsmart your Supermarket!!!!!!

You’ve decided to start eating healthily and stop the shopping frenzy. That deserves CONGRATULATIONS!

•    Do not shop when you are hungry. Shopping after a meal can help stave off the cravings. Boycott the bakery! The smell of fresh bread, donuts etc. gets your senses begging you to take some home. Some supermarkets even bake in their busiest hour.

•   You’re ready list in hand.  Only buy from your list. If it’s not on your list this week don’t buy it. Try and prepare your meals for the week and then do your list accordingly. Supermarkets place their special offers in strategic places i.e. end of isles and near checkouts. Those Easter Eggs are waiting for you to take them home.

•       Buy organic or fresh local produce that is in season.

•        Use the outer isles of the supermarket whenever possible and keep away from the inner isles. You will find the fruit, vegetables, fish and meat on the outside lanes. Products are placed at      strategic eye levels to entice you to buy like special offers, buy 2 get 1 free.

•    Finally, take a check on any herbs or spices that may give variety and flavour to your healthy eating programme BUT check them out at home and then put them on the list for next week.

Here’s a list that will help you with your healthy food shopping.

That’s it for today.

Happy Shopping.
