Feeling overwhelmed when it comes to grocery shopping and eating healthy? Trust me you’re not alone, everyone (including myself) can feel stressed at the thought of walking around a grocery store. Whether you are pressed for time or have a tight budget, planning healthy meals and grocery shopping doesn’t have to be a daunting task.
It’s easy to make healthy choices at the grocery store when you start with a shopping list! I tend to organize my list by the store sections, that way I can easily get in and out. It’s always important to have meals in mind, so you know how you will use what you buy.
