In today’s busy world, we can’t let grocery shopping and meal prep take up too much of our time, energy or money. These tips will help you hack your grocery store trips so you can make the most of your resources. Try these out today!
Drop by the deli
One strategic trip to our deli could set you up for the rest of the week. Our freshly-made rotisserie chickens are so versatile–you can shred the meat for tacos, salads, soups and more. You could even pick up a party tray of deli meats and cheeses to turn into sandwich lunches. Make sure to check out our bakery for freshly-baked bread.
Pick up prepped produce
Along those same lines, you’ll find trays and packages of freshly chopped fruits and veggies ready for you in the produce area. It’s a great way to fit in your essential nutrients when you’re too busy to do all the washing, chopping and other prep work yourself. You’re more likely to eat your fruits and veggies when they’re all ready to go!
Timing is everything
Do you want the best selection of fresh produce, meat and seafood, bakery items and more? Make sure to hit the aisles early. Products are newly stocked and freshest in the morning. And if you want to avoid crowds, stay away from the store in the middle of the day on weekends and between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays.
Stick to store brand
You may think you need to shell out top dollar for top quality, but that’s not necessarily true. Study after study shows that, when doing a blind taste test, consumers can’t tell the difference between store brand products and the more expensive name brand products, and many people strongly preferred the store brand. So if you want to utilize the ultimate hack in saving money, store brand is the way to go.
Utilize store associates
Don’t waste your time wandering around the store looking for what you need. Our store associates are happy to point you in the right direction so you can grab what you need and go.
