52-Week Challenge: Week Forty-Nine

The challenge this week is to be a smarter shopper.  And no, I don't mean becoming an extreme couponer.  I mean actively paying attention to what you put into your cart because, ultimately, it ends up in your mouth.  By now, you've all hopefully made some positive changes in your eating habits.  Changing how you shop will help you maintain these habits.  Here are a few tips:

1.  Plan your weekly menu.
2.  Make a list from this menu. (This will help you avoid roaming the store and impulse buying, saving you money AND calories).
3.  Leave your appetite at home.  DON'T shop hungry!

That's it.  As long as you are planning healthy meals and snacks at home, all it takes is STICKING TO YOUR LIST to make a trip to the grocery store as easy as pie.  Don't give into temptation!
