Supermarket Shopping Tips - Beware of their tricks!

• Make a shopping list and stick to it to avoid impulse buying.
• Learn your supermarket layout so you know where to find things.
• Organise your shopping list to coordinate with the store layout.
• Don't shop when you are hungry, stressed, bored or rushed.
• Eat something before you shop or eat a healthy snack in-store.
• To reduce stress, avoid shopping when stores are crowded.
• Leave the kids at home to avoid their pester power.
• Carry a basket for small shops, then there is a limit on how much you can buy.
• Choose a good trolley for big shops. Wrestling with a dodgy trolley can leave you frustrated and in need of a quick food fix.
• Shop for fresh produce first and grab a couple of salads.
• Simply avoid the confectionary aisle if you know you'll come out of it with high-calorie items in your trolley.
• Ask for help to find items rather than wander into temptation.
• Choose a ‘confectionary-free' checkout or when at the checkout, focus your eyes away from the goodies.
