Plan ahead for supermarket success

It makes sense to be properly prepared to do your weekly or fortnightly grocery shopping. Before you set out for the supermarket, do a quick pantry and fridge inventory and plan your meals for the week around what you already have. Then use your meal plan to create a list to shop from, adding the ingredients and items you don't already have. When planning your meals, and your shopping list, make sure you include only the foods you need for optimum health and nothing more. It's the things we like but don't need in our diet that cause the grocery bill to rise.
