Shop Smart

Shopping Analytics:

The purpose of being aware of your shopping analytics is to teach and adapt a mindset that will make your shopping more effective and less stressful.  Eventually, you’ll internalize these analytics and create new shopping habits that will serve you well.

 Where to shop:

When deciding where to grocery shop it’s important to think about a market that’s convenient.  The closer you live to the store the easier it will be to make the trip. 

When to shop:

It’s important to block out a time in your schedule to go grocery shopping.  If you’re someone that likes to be in and out then maybe avoid going after 5pm or Sunday evenings.  Consider what plans you have during the week.  Shopping after a class, or combining it with other errands you need to do in the area might work, or in the morning before you are jam packed the rest of the day.  Be strategic and it will make your life easier.   

Why are you shopping?

Know the reason you’re planning a grocery trip.  Maybe you’re preparing to cook a special meal, or meal prepping for yourself because you have a busy week ahead.

What are you going to get?

People underestimate the power of a shopping list.  Writing a shopping list before you head out saves you time in the store and if it’s written down you won't forget any items.
