The number one rule of a healthy shop is this: Don’t shop on an empty stomach!

In order to save money and ensure a healthy shop, stick to the following guidelines:

• Do a weekly grocery shop, twice weekly for fresh produce
• Plan meals for the week and write a shopping list accordingly
• Stick to what’s on the list!
• Pack chicken, meat and fish into the right size portions and freeze in freezer bags
• Choose low-fat dairy products and proteins, complex carbs and healthy fats
• Buy healthy snacks such as fresh or dried fruit, lean biltong, wholegrain crackers and cereal bars instead of chocolates and sweets
• Cross compare labels to ensure you are choosing the best product in the range

Try one new product or recipe a week to introduce some variety
