HOW TO EFFORTLESSLY SHOP FOR GROCERIES

-

Make shopping for groceries easy by following these 5 tips.




As the one person in my family who mostly does grocery shopping, it has become easier to navigate this task. We are well aware that time moves faster, and we barely get some stuff done, one of them being shopping. However running errands can be easy as pie.

Here are the tips you can use to make your life easier.

Plan your meals ahead.



Plan your meals in advance to simplify grocery shopping by purchasing only the ingredients needed for your recipes. I believe this method works well for single-person household.

Buy in bulk



Consider buying in bulk to stock up on essentials like toiletries, dairy, grains, and meat. It reduces last-minute store trips. 

Just ensure you have enough storage space at home and check the packaging for storage guidelines.

Stick to the list



At some point we have impulsively bought unnecessary things so, check your supplies and note any items that are low or empty to avoid duplicate purchases. Create a categorized grocery list (produce, dairy, grain) for a smoother shopping experience.

Include seasonal produce and sale items for cost-effective meals. This planning saves time, reduces waste, and makes shopping more sustainable.

Use Apps



Shopping online can be a convenient and efficient way to find the best deals without leaving the comfort of your home. 
Apps like Checkers Sixty60 provide personalized recommendations based on your preferences and past purchases, making it easier to find new products. You can also access exclusive promotions for additional savings.


Using apps can streamline your grocery shopping with features like shopping lists, meal planning tools, and delivery or pickup options, saving you time. 

Delegate tasks



Let family help, and together, you ensure you get the best deals while saving time. Beyond just price comparison, there's a certain satisfaction in knowing exactly where to find each item in the store, navigating the aisles with ease even when they're bustling with other shoppers.

This familiarity transforms what could be a mundane chore into an almost enjoyable experience, allowing us to focus on other aspects of our lives with the time we've saved.




BONUS TIPS:  Make use of Google Keep to jot down your list.
Avoid shopping on peak days.
Weekly mail comes with grocery catalogues helping you know the price of what you'll buy in advance.

Do you feel unproductive in this heat? me too, nothing these 3 cooling tips can't fix though. Seeing school kids go home I'm transported back in time when I used to hate school uniforms during this hot season. The way my leather shores would cling to me and I would be all sweaty underneath my pullover. The worst part was not being able to study or do any chores let alone homework. Here are the three tips you can use to cool off and be productive. 1. Hydrate and listen to your body I don't even have to say it, but drinking water even when you're not thirsty is essential to cooling your body throughout the day and it reduces fatigue. Make a lemonade or an iced tea for sweetness.   Eat light meals or snacks, eating heavy meals like Kota will make you sluggish, and it will have you in an instant food coma Don't overwork yourself take mini breaks and use a breathing exercise. 2. Plan the day ahead It's no surprise but planning your day will allow you to wake up early...

Spring cleaning your room can be made easy with this simple step-by-step deep cleaning plan. Let me share a practical guide with you so we can work together to declutter your rooms. 1. Wait For The Wind To Settle  Timing is everything when it comes to spring cleaning, especially during seasonal transitions. It also depends on where you live. I'm from Kasi , so yeah, wind equals plenty of dust. Cleaning while dust is swirling around is basically asking for double the work. 2. Strip It Down Removing dirty bedsheets. Take down your curtains, remove your bedding, and even pull out your clothes that need a wash. Getting the "soft-stuff' out of the way makes it easier to clean surfaces and corners without obstacles.  Nothing beats the smell of freshly washed linen in a freshly deep-cleaned room. 3. Open Those Windows airing out the room Fresh air does half the job for you. Open your windows wide to let the breeze push out stale air and give your room an instant lift.    4....

Embracing Life's Journey

Embrace /verb/ To accept readily or eagerly. Example: She embraced the journey willingly and with enthusiasm. The pashmina I'm wearing in the picture belongs to my mother; I sold it to her when I was selling Avon. Today, I went straight to her closet to find something to cover up with, and this little act reminded me of a time I was younger and the consequences of picking through her closet uninvited had me face-to-leather with the belt lol. During those times, I wasn't anxious. A trouble maker yes—but never worried. This past month and a half, I’ve been to and from my first-ever job. I’ve met some nice people, all older than me and experienced in both life and work. When I'm there, I clock in so focused on my job. There are times when I make mistakes with my orders and feel irritated at my co-workers due to miscommunication. I could go on forever about the working conditions, but I’ve learned to tell myself, You’re doing okay. Now I just go to work not because I want money...
