Plan a regular shop
When we don’t have food in the pantry at home, we often settle for convenience and take-away food that costs the family more and contains too much salt, saturated fat and sugar. By planning a regular shop, once a week, you can keep your pantry full of delicious food and avoid last-minute impulse buys.
Having healthy food ready in the house also makes it a lot easier for your family to put together a healthy snack or meal and develop healthy eating habits.
Small step: Plan a day this week to do a shop at the grocery store. Maybe take the kids along to teach them what kind of healthy food is available.
