Always Shop With A List
It’s easy to think you’ll remember everything you need once you get to the grocery store. But in all that chaos of shopping, there’s bound to be something important you forget.
If you’re tired of throwing away food, shop smarter and limit food waste in your home by having a shopping list for your grocery budget. Before you leave the house, take inventory of your pantry items and ensure you’ve got things like rice, pasta, oil, and any other staples.
Meal planning before your shopping trip will also help you know what you need to grab instead of standing in the freezer section trying to plan five days of meals on the spot.
Plus, making a list ahead of time lets you shop more efficiently since supermarkets tend to set traps for customers to buy more than they actually need.
