How to Make Wise Grocery Shopping Choices

• Shop on a full stomach. You’ll buy less snacks and/or things you don’t usually buy - and only buy groceries, not gifts and all the extra stuff, at the grocery store!

• Go armed with a list and stick to it, especially if your kids are “helping”.

• Plan your meals for the week before you shop and then buy what’s on the menu. Start with planning for 3 or 4 days if all week seems too much.

• Shop only once a week. You’ll tend to spend more if you stop at the store every day or several times a week.

• Shop when you have energy and aren’t worn out from a busy day. It’s easier to focus and make wise choices when you’ve got energy and aren’t preoccupied.

• Return your bottles and cans for the deposit that you paid. If you've got kids, get them to help with this job and let them keep the cash they earn.

• Shop in familiar stores when you’re tired, stressed or in a hurry. You’ll find what you need and be able to get out with what you need quickly.

Plan Ahead to Save Money on Food and Grocery Shopping

• Shop for groceries with a list to help you stick to your budget
• Plan meals so that you have leftovers for lunch the next day, or freeze leftovers for a quick meal another day.

• Package your own treats, juices and snacks. Buy the large package or snacks and a box of baggies and make your own individually wrapped packages to grab on the run.

• Buy less canned and packaged convenience foods and shred your own lettuce and cheese (cheeses often freeze well too!).

• Clean out your fridge and cupboards once a month. Use up what you bought before buying more.

• Organize your food storage cupboards and drawers. If you don’t know what you have or can’t find what you bought, you’ll end up buying more of the same unnecessarily.

• If you stock up, watch expiry dates and package the food to preserve it as long as needed.

• If you buy large packages or meat, pre–cook or marinate it and then freeze it to speed up meal times. If you know that you’ve got food ready at home, it’s less tempting to eat out.

• Spend some time once a week washing and/or cutting up fruit and vegetables. This will speed up dinner and lunch preparations and provide healthy snacks that are ready to go.
