Grocery shopping can feel like the hardest part of eating healthy- whether it’s the cost or simply not knowing where to begin. But with a little planning and some smart ingredient overlap, you can save both time in the store and money at checkout. Prices can vary depending on the store, so it’s worth trying out different stores until you find one that fits your budget and lifestyle best. I have found Trader Joe’s to be one of the most budget-friendly options. Trader Joe’s offers affordable, high quality, and private-label products that are delicious.
Some of the items on the list below, like olive oil or sauces, are pantry staples that don’t need to be replaced often. Before you shop, always check what you already have at home to avoid over-purchasing. By spending a few extra minutes planning ahead, grocery shopping will become much more enjoyable.
