This healthy grocery list is a great way to save time and money while grocery shopping. Don’t forget to grab your free downloadable list at the bottom!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grocery shopping is not an easy task<\/strong>, especially if you are trying to make healthy and budget-friendly decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a VERY unique philosophy on grocery shopping and you can learn more about it here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally, I go grocery shopping 1 or 2 times a month. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That pretty much sums it up. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It saves tons of time, stress, and of course money<\/strong>. I am working on creating a course to teach you how to do it too if you are interested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIPS FOR EATING HEALTHY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have a basic understanding of my grocery shopping philosophy, let’s go over a few tips for eating healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. HAVE SELF CONTROL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A huge tip in saving money when your grocery shopping, is TELL YOURSELF NO.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust me, it is significantly easier to say no one time at the grocery store while you’re passing that delicious looking chocolate cake than the 50 times you will see it sitting on your counter. Tell yourself you don’t need it at the grocery store, and move on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. MEAL PLAN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I highly recommend meal planning<\/a>, and especially backwards meal planning. This can definitely help save you tons of time and money, as you are eliminating all your extra trips to the grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. HAVE A STOCKPILE <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since I only go shopping a few times a month, I build up a small stockpile of ingredients that I can use to still make healthy meals. Don’t go a freak out when you hear stockpile. I do not hoard food or have an underground shelter stocked with food. My pantry is small, but full of things our family uses frequently. <\/p>\n\n\n

4. KEEP A RUNNING LIST<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Keep a list on your fridge and tell everybody in the family how to use it. When you are using an item and you notice it is almost gone, add it to your list. Some of these items you might have in your stockpile, so just double check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. MEAL PREP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t have to be fancy, just meal prep<\/a> a few ingredients, breakfasts, suppers, etc. so you have some healthy options ready to grab quickly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my whole post on grocery shopping rules here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I do keep a good stockpile at my house and use backwards meal planning, creating a shopping list takes me less than 5 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PANTRY ITEMS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I like to focus on the three main areas of the kitchen. The first is the pantry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to look at your running grocery list for items that you are getting low on. Glance through your pantry and jot down any additional items you need to re-stock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
