Having a Plan: In the Grocery Store

This is where it all begins. Consider these tips on your next trip to the grocery store.

• Lists are your friend; make one, and stick to it. This will help with temptation of buying the Oreos that seem to be staring at you in the checkout lane.  You will also save money, because you are not aimless wondering through the store.
• DON’T GO HUNGRY.  We go to the grocery store when it’s convenient. Some after work, or after a workout. It’s an honest mistake,but we want to challenge you to go shopping on a full stomach. Going after you have made dinner will help you know what items you need, so you aren’t buying duplicates.
• If this isn’t doable, grab a low-cal snack to bring along.

• Have some recipes in mind that you want to make for the week. Watch out for recipes we post or check out previous recipes we’ve posted for ideas
