Do you ever walk out of the supermarket with more bags than
expected? Here, with this smart shopping guide it won't happen again!
Knowing how to shop is an art that helps the family, both
economically and in terms of preparing for a healthy and proper diet . In fact,
a balanced diet starts from the expense .
And going shopping with clear ideas prevents the useless
purchase of superfluous foods , and with them the consequent food and economic
waste.
In addition, it prevents the temptation to overfeed due to
the presence of too much food that could go bad, precisely because it is bought
in an enormous way. But let's proceed in order.
Here are 6 tips you can make your own to really start
grocery shopping the smart way - whether it's for a week or a last-minute
dinner.
Shopping
list
The first tip is also the most precious “secret”: starting
from home with a shopping list allows you to resist the temptations induced by
visual or olfactory stimuli, or more simply by offers and promotions.
To do this, however, it is advisable to update a very
accurate list on a daily basis , perhaps pinned on a block placed in a easily
accessible and visible point of the house and equipped with a pen so that you
can fix, at any time, what you need, which is about to end or expire.
Of course, the slates to hang on the wall, post-its to stick
to the fridge or applications in the mobile phone to take notes to always have
with you are also valid . Get creative!
If, even, you want to be even more effective and efficient
in this precious practice, you can order the various products based on their
position in the supermarket path , in order to immediately identify what you
need, without wasting time or making unnecessary turns between the lanes -
which more often than not deciphers into a source of inspiration for buying
extra things you don't need, or even already have at home.
NB → Check for offers or discounts, online and on flyers,
before going to the supermarket.
Before you go shopping? Take a look at your pantry!
Another fundamental thing to draw up an anti surplus list is
to have clear what you have in the pantry .
This work starts from the shopping you usually do. When you
come back from the supermarket, what do you usually do?
That's right, store your purchases in the furniture or in
the refrigerator. Here, this practice must be as orderly as possible, perhaps
putting in front of the products close to expiry and grouping the various
packages by type, in order not to lose knowledge and memory of the reserves.
