| | | | | Going to the grocery store isn't always fun. If you're like me, you go grocery shopping every week. And sometimes, it can be hard to find the time to sit down and make a list. | | Without a list, you may end up overspending or buying items you don't use (I do this more often than I'd like to admit). This food can take up the limited space in your fridge or pantry, and it may even expire if you forget about it. | | That's where the 5-4-3-2-1 grocery shopping method comes in.

Keep reading to learn more about how it works and how to tailor it to your needs. | | | | | | | Happy shopping,

Other sources of protein you may consider include: | | | | If you want to increase your fiber intake, you may also want to swap the fruits and the proteins. So instead of four proteins and three fruits, you could buy four fruits and three proteins. | | This method has helped me save money and time at the grocery store. I like to use it in bulk stores and buy frozen meat and vegetables. This way, I can cut down my grocery trips to once every 2 weeks or once a month. | | If this sounds like something you want to try the next time you go to the grocery store, keep reading for more tips and considerations. | | | | | | | | | | In the bag | | | | | | |  | | Lotus Trolley Bags | | If shopping for groceries can be made easier, unloading them can be, too!
