Shopping Cart Smarts!

April 29, 2015 By Cindy Silver

Grocery cart
Slow down and think about every choice.

Ways to Shop for More Nutrition & Less ‘Fluff’

1. Never ever shop when you are hungry…because your choices will suffer. Here are 3 tips to help you over this hurdle.

2. Slow down and think about every choice. You’ll be amazed how this improves the quality of what’s in your cart.

3. Check items off your list as you think through how you will use them in your meal or snack. It’s a great way to reduce food waste.

4. Count up your fruits and vegetables – fresh, canned, dried, frozen. Do you have one of each for all days of the week?

5. Watch for discounts. Then, ask yourself if the on-sale item is something you need, want and can use in a light & healthy way. If not, keep on walking and shopping.

6. Do a check-out review. Re-look at what’s in your cart before you check out just in case you decide to put back a not-so-smart choice.

Resources to Shop for More Nutrition & Less ‘Fluff’

Becoming a light & healthy grocery shopper is a skill worth working on. Why? Because your next healthy meal or snack depends on it. Because your energy level and mental focus depends on it. Because your daily well being depends on it. Here’s my free report on Easy Weekday Meals for Busy Families. Here’s my affordable e-book, 15 Tasty Menus & Shopping Lists. With resources like these, your grocery cart smarts will skyrocket in no time!

What healthy grocery cart items are you choosing, week-after-week?
