Grocery Shop Like a Pro [[part 1]]

In honor of March being Nutrition Month:

//NEW POSTS EVERY DAY WITH GROCERY AND RECIPE TIPS AND TRICKS///

By the end you'll be shopping like a PRO!

As I started to make my grocery shopping list tip list there was so much info that I wanted to share that I decided to create multiple posts... each day this week I'll be posting new recipes, tips, and ideas for SHOPPING FRESH, PLANNING AHEAD & EATING HEALTHY. 


TODAYS GROCERY TIPS:

• PLAN AHEAD: Write down what you need and you will be less likely to throw junk in the basket. 

• DON'T SHOP HUNGRY: This also helps to avoid throwing junk in the basket. If you aren't having any cravings then you are more likely to stick to your list. 

• STAY OUT OF THE AISLES: All of the fresh foods are along the outside square of the store, and most of the processed foods lie within the aisles. Staying on the outside ensures healthy choices; you won't be tempted by the cookies and chips if you don't see them.  

• FRESH, FROZEN, or CANNED??: If possible always buy fresh. If you don't think you can use the fresh food before it goes bad frozen is better than canned. When fruit and veggies are flash frozen most of the nutrition is preserved. Most canned food has lost a lot of the essential vitamins and nutrients. Also, many canned goods have added sugar or sodium.
