If you’re looking to make your grocery list even smarter, consider these tips for upping your shopping game, without sacrificing time or money.

Get rid of unhealthy foods
Before you write your grocery list, go through your kitchen inventory, including your fridge and freezer, and get rid of all those super unhealthy foods! Toss out processed, sugary snacks, unhealthy “convenience foods” and microwavable junk. Not only will this help make space in your kitchen, it will catalyse the beginning of a more healthy shopping cycle.

Separate list into categories
Don’t just write down items on your list at random. Instead, organise it by making categories based on food group; ie. fruits and vegetables, dairy, etc. By grouping items together, you will make your way through the store faster, without having to double-back. Also, this will give you less time to roam the aisles in search of snacks, which is exactly what the store wants you to do.
