Follow these grocery shopping tips for an enjoyable, stress-free outing:
Plan to make one shopping trip per week to get the majority of what you need.
Make a list and keep it in a handy spot to add to it during the week. Take it with you to the store to avoid making impulse buys for things you don’t need.
If your children go to the store with you, and are old enough, give them a specific item to find in the store. This will give them a sense of accomplishment and help them learn what types of foods are healthy.
Encourage your children to explore the produce section. Ask them to pick out a fruit or vegetable that they have never tasted before or to find a fruit or vegetable that is a certain color.
The grocery store is filled with temptations for all of us. Be prepared to give a firm no when your child requests junk food.
