Tips to shop healthily and affordably
- Make a shopping list.
- Only buy what you really need.
- Use leftovers to complete your meals.
- Don’t go shopping hungry!
- Careful: Big trolleys lead you to buy more than you need.
- Buy non-perishables in bulk.
- Buy fresh and unprocessed food.
- Unprocessed or partially processed foods from budget brands can be good alternatives.
- Avoid expensive food especially targeted at children.
- Store food in a specially designated area.
- Food that is value-for-money is often found on the higher shelves. More expensive products are usually kept at eye-level.
- Look at the packaging: this gives the price per kilo, per 100g or per litre.
- Seal open packets or store the contents in a container (not aluminium).
