Grocery Shopping Tips
Consider these tips the next time you go grocery shopping.
Never Shop during peak hours :
Avoid peak hours to skip the crowds, long queues, and picked-over produce bins. Off-peak hours like early morning and mid-morning are the best. You also get to select from the freshest produce.
Always Shop with a List:
Create a shopping list before leaving home. Take stock of pantry items and plan your meals. Organize your shopping list by product type to make it easy to get all the produce you want to buy.
Never Shop while Hungry:
Shopping on an empty stomach can lead to overspending and unhealthy choices. Eat well before you leave to go shopping, and carry healthy snacks.
Shop Alone When You Can:
Shopping alone helps you stay focused, spend less money, and save time. It also saves you the pressure to buy too many goddies and snacks for those you may go shopping with.
Be an Informed Shopper:
Check unit prices, compare brands, and read labels. Look for sales, discounts, and coupons. All this will help you save money and select the best products in the market.
Buy Online:
Consider purchasing online. It saves you a lot of time that could have been used on doing physical shopping. This time can be used – for example to compare prices and look at product reviews.
Buy Perishable Foods in Quantities You’ll Use:
Avoid buying perishables in bulk unless you’re sure you’ll use them. If you have access to a reliable supplier, it would be best to keep minimal stocks and order regularly than order in huge quantities and risk having some of the produce go bad.
Limit Ready-Prepared Foods:
Pre-made meals and convenience foods can be expensive. Limit buying them and instead, buy ingredients to go cook at home.
