Tips for quick grocery shopping

1. Make a meal plan: Decide what you’re going to eat this week and
   what you’ll need to make that happen. (Erin will write more on this
   specific topic next week.)
2. Make a list from your plan: Not only will this help you remember
   what you need, it also discourages you from picking up things that you
   don’t need.
3. Separate the items on the list into their own sections (dairy,
   condiments, cereal, produce, etc.). This will reduce the chances of
   having to double back for something that you forgot in another section.
4. Go shopping at off-peak hours. The less of a crowd the faster the
   shopping goes. Avoid weekends. (My wife goes before work early in the
   morning.)
5. Sale items above all: Look over your weekly sale items before heading to the store. Saving money on groceries is a good thing.
6. Get physical. Don’t be afraid to elbow fellow shoppers to get to the checkout ahead of them.
