1. Make a shopping list.
This will help you focus your time on what you really need to buy, instead of mindlessly wandering around the isles and grabbing things you don't actually need.
2. Check your pantry - do you have it already? We’ve all experienced buying something and later realising that you already have it, or something similar. If you know what you already have, you can prevent unnecessary double-ups and reduce the chance of food items expiring before you can use them. It’ll save you money too!

3. Try farmers markets and refill stores
Instead of online shopping and large supermarkets, try to visit farmers markets more often. There are lower transportation costs associated with farmers markets, meaning less greenhouse gas emissions. Also, fresher foods have higher nutrition, compared to foods that have been shipped over long distances.
For bulk foods such as rice, flour and nuts, go to refill stores and use your own containers and jars instead of plastic packaging. Here is a list of refill stores:
