1. Never shop on an empty stomach.

Being hungry often leads to impulse buying, which usually ends up being something naughty to snack on in the car on the way home (ie. chocie bars, lollies or chips).

2. Choose a basket instead of a trolley.

According to research you’ll be more likely to buy healthy food options, plus you’ll get a workout carrying it around the store.

3. Write a list and stick to it!

A few minutes spent planning your meals and writing a list before you leave can have a huge impact on how well you eat throughout the week.

4. Stick to the edges of the store.

Focus on the outer edges of the store where the fresh goodies are usually kept. The inner aisles tend to contain processed foods, so only enter these if the item is a must-have on your list.
