How many times are you going to shopping a week? And belly full or empty? Are issues such as these that concern Katie Hill, coach of American well-being, alerting you to some mistakes we all make when it comes to read from the grocery store.
"As a coach, I noticed that my clients feel anxious when they have a house full of food. And many basic mistakes when we buy our food, "he explained to the Huffington Post.
The educator has compiled a list of the six mistakes that we all make when we go shopping. And some of them are quite pertinent.
Katie leaves a also a word of advice: sometimes delegate the purchases to someone: "Many times, it's my husband who goes shopping. He is the most patient customer in the world ".
Mistake no. 1: go shopping only once per week
This is a very common mistake in the United States. Many families fill their shopping carts once a week, hoping that these are sufficient for the rest of the week. With this strategy, we tend to buy foods that last longer, i.e. abuse of processed foods.
On the other hand, this also means that, sometimes, we leave expiry of foods, which leaves us upset. If we buy less food but we increase the trips to the supermarket, save money and have more fresh food every day.
Mistake no. 2: go shopping without a plan
There are more and more people with shopping lists, but often the foods that are part of this are not coordinated. Before we left home, we must know what we need for two or three days. I.e. we should buy enough for nine meals.
Katie explains that sometimes comes home-coming of the supermarket â€" and has nothing to eat, just food scattered: some carrots, some canned.
Mistake no. 3: go shopping on a full stomach
It was known that shopping on an empty stomach is disastrous, now we can add a full stomach. According to Katie, many of his clients who go to the supermarket with a full stomach will buy everything but food: toilet paper, detergents, toiletries, but no food. That is, you must return to the supermarket a few hours later.
Mistake # 4: buying too much convenience food "healthy"
There are hundreds of food whose manufacturers consider "gluten-free", "organic", "fat-free" or "natural" and that, in fact, are not. We must opt for real food, preferably that don't come in a package that survives everything â€" including nuclear holocausts.
Mistake # 5: not knowing what days your supermarket renews the stock
This is one of the great advice I ever published in Green Savers. The secret to buying fresh food is knowing what day your supermarket renews the stock. Ask the Manager and he will tell you, certainly. Then, plan purchases that day â€" which does not necessarily have to be at the weekend, although give more way to most consumers.
Mistake # 6: not having patience
It sucks to wait hours for their time on fresh fish or deli? Yes, it's true, but know that the food is fresh. Try to resist buying packaged products â€" sometimes they are several days ago at the same venue.
