Tips for Grocery Store Safety~
1) Don’t go hungry. You will be more tempted to buy processed foods because your resistance is low.
2) Make a plan ahead of time. Plan out your menu for the week, and make a list from that. You will be less likely to haphazardly throw things in your cart you do not need, or buy food that goes to waste.
3) Use your grocery stores app if available. Often they sort your grocery list by aisle for you, saving time and money. Time because it organizes your path, and money because you are not going down aisles you don’t need to be in.
4) Shop perimeter of store, you are more likely to stick to single ingredient foods. Avoid the center aisle as much as possible, it is a land mine of cues and triggers, nothing to see here folks!
5) Shop once a week. Making your weekly menu, it allows you to make one organized trip to the grocery store a week. No need to put yourself in that environment more than necessary. We call it harm reduction.
