Top 10 Grocery Store

Never shop hungry .!

Tips

1. Make a list. Even if it’s jotted down seconds before you step out of the car.

2. Keep a master list at home for pantry items, typical buys, etc. 3. Never shop hungry. Bring a snack or drink a huge glass of water if you forget. 4. Use the smallest cart or basket. This eliminates how much you can fit in the cart. 5. Shop the perimeter. 6. Compare labels to know what you are buying.

Check-out lines • Impulse heaven. Find the shortest line to resist the lure of chocolate bars and candy mints. • If a long line is your only option, pick up a health magazine to page through, or distract yourself in another way as you wait. • Grab a water if you must and take a big drink. Don’t worry, you can still pay for it if you take a drink first.

7. Distract yourself when checking out. Read a magazine to avoid impulse buys. 8. Consider curbside pick-up to avoid all the temptation by preordering. 9. Keep a budget for groceries or consider using cash to avoid allowing the cart to fill up. 10. Shop sales in the produce aisle. This will help keep fresh produce in your price range.
