8. Use the food group approach.

No list? No problem. Sometimes we find ourselves at the market without a list. When this happens, consider using the food group approach: before checking out, make sure you have grains, proteins (meats, seafood, beans, eggs, or nut butters), dairy, and produce. This will help prevent you from arriving home with only snack items and no real staples for making meals.

9. Shop in your pajamas (grocery delivery).

According to the consumer statistics organization, statista, 18.4% of consumers do most of their grocery shopping online. This saves commuting time and can be a great option for those who prefer not to fight the after work crowd at the grocery store.
