These are really helpful! I need to be a little better at grabbing the fresh and healthy options over the frozen sodium-packed entrees.

Some good basic common sense tips.

I completely disagree with this..for one I'm from Hawaii so coconut water was a staple only in the main lad was it a fad and I don't need a list, and I also love sales which I stock up on. I'm considered slim at 99lbs, a little taller than 5'3, and was a personal trainer.. I'd like to know from this article what they consider slim because more 80% of women are more than 10 lbs over weight, which you see all around everyday.

Most of these are common sense and I do try to follow them whenever I can. Plus avoiding alcohol is always great!

Ok I do everything in the article. That shouldnt be but is very validating.

I have lost 50 pounds doing what this article says to do. the one other thing I do is to type my menu at the stop of the grocery list, then list the ingredients for each meal, which is my shopping list. I buy only the items on the list. Everything healthy, especially fresh vegetables and salmon. My husband and I even splurge by cutting in half a rib eye steak.

This made me think. Yes, not shopping when tired or rushed would make a big difference for me. I'd probably buy less convenience foods.

The tips are great but adding Slim women makes a lot of difference....

Some great tips!

This is great advice! I try to watch what I eat, and I have been pretty good about cutting out all of the junk foods from my daily diet but I definitely have some things I could improve on. I like the idea of a shopping list and writing down the benefits of products as well right next to them, I haven't tried that but I think it's a great visual reminder whether or not what you are paying for is good for you or not.

Great tips... now I gotta put them into practice!

by yestfl Friday, October 12, 2012 at 02:03PM Report as inappropriate

Very good tips! This is how I shop. Buy only what is on your list, unless you forgot to include something ... not because you want something.

Great shopping tips! It's also reassuring to know that I already shop like this. Where I get into trouble is with discount cookies. I just need to avoid the baked goods section!

Great Tips ..

by Monica34 Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at 04:23PM Report as inappropriate

Will start planning and making a shopping list.

great tips...I better make a list now, I'm used in buying in impulse so I end up with so many unused products that just go to waste...the expiry thing is also new to me, I better check that out too..thanks for the tip

Every single one of these tips is right on. I need to be more savvy about getting frozen health foods. Since I only cook for two, we end up wasting a lot of food when we buy everything fresh.

Great tips!

Read this earlier and then tried to implement a bunch of these tips when I went to the store and they really helped!!

great tips, thanks

Good tips

by rachelneed Saturday, August 25, 2012 at 04:03PM Report as inappropriate

These tips are ON POINT ! I love grocery shopping and now that i am married, I tend to cook my own food and avoid junk food. It is a task to always keep your lists while shopping so you wouldnt get distracted at the grocery shop. The only problem is that some really organic products are expensive!

by teema Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 08:02PM Report as inappropriate

Very too the point and common sense info... I would also suggest that if you can hit a farm market or local produce market for the local and in season stuff, it's usually and better price and less temptation...

Nice tips! I agree with them all and have found that they also help with meal planning and eating out less.

by HeathRene Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 08:53AM Report as inappropriate

I agree with the tips mentioned in this article. I always by less healthy items when the grocery store is busy because of all the stress I endure trying to find healthy food! Find what you like, and stick with it. No need to try crazy fads. Drink regular water, not juice or pop. Stock up on fruits an veggies, and avoid the candy aisle at all costs. You'll be in shape in no time :)

Thanks for the tips. However, it's always hard to shop at the right time. Being a busy mom, I'm often going to the store when I'm tired and hungry... not good timing.
