• Look at more than calories: When it comes to losing weight, you’ve probably grown accustomed to checking the calorie counts, but remember that this number isn’t everything. Many healthy foods (like quinoa) tend to be higher in calories; likewise, a food that’s low in calories may contain a lot of sodium or saturated fat. Read through every part of the label to get the full picture, and then make the decision if you’re going to eat it.
• Compare apples to apples: You have two boxes of crackers in your hands and quickly see that one contains 220 calories per serving, while the other is only 140. Before you choose the box with fewer calories, double-check to make sure you’re comparing equal serving sizes. Also take a look to see how the nutritional content compares.
• Read, and reread: There are certain foods you feel confident placing in your cart because you’ve previously read through the labels. Play it safe by checking the label again every month, just to make sure the company hasn’t changed or added ingredients without you knowing; the whole-grain pretzels I used to buy are now sadly made with enriched flour.

How I Grocery Shop

This is my master grocery list, which means that I always have these in my pantry/fridge. I have this list saved in my phone as a note, so that when I’m in the grocery store I run through it to check if I have it all at home.
I usually buy my berries & seasonal produce at local farmer’s markets, they’re always fresher & sometimes cheaper. Also, I don’t really eat bread/grains/cereal unless it’s really good or I have no other option… I just don’t like it!

What I buy all depends on season too. See seasonal chart here.

Tips:

• Always go with a list!
• Shop the perimeter! This typically contains the produce, dairy, meat, deli, and frozen section.
• Inside the “perimeter” you are more likely to stray: the candy aisle, the juice/drinks aisle, and the snacks aisle are all bad places to buy the majority of your groceries
• Look for what is on sale & stock up if it’s non-perishable
• When choosing packaged produce, look at the “Use by” date and choose the longest.
• Check all fruits & veggies for bruises, scratches, & mold. Yuck!
• Buy frozen petite peas, berries (for smoothies or baking), and bell peppers. They’re always cheaper & there isn’t much difference.
• Try to not over-buy, know how long each fruit/veggie will last & don’t waste it!
• Because produce goes off so quickly I go grocery shopping 2+ times a week. This is usually what it takes to maintain a healthy lifestyle!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! There is a printable list here.
