Eliana's Shopping Tips for Grocery Trips

Eliana's Shopping Tips for Grocery Trips

Hey Young Chefs! Today, I am going to give you some shopping tips for those important grocery trips.

• Always have a list. A list helps you to remember what you want to buy and helps you remember not to overbuy. (Are you listening, Mommy?) You can help your parents plan the shopping list. I always make the shopping list for my mom and check off the list as we shop.
  

• Bring fabric grocery bags. Bringing your own grocery bags helps the environment. You use less plastic. That means less plastic goes in the garbage. That means less plastic goes into our earth. That means our earth can last longer. Tip: When you unload the groceries, put the bags back in the car (so you don't forget them for the next grocery trip).

• Shop with coupons. Young chefs, this is fun. Help your parents cut out coupons from all the newspapers and flyers. Coupons help you save money. Organize your coupons and keep them in the car.

• Buy fresh fruits and veggies. Fresh food tastes better and it's better for you.

• Bring home one special treat. We always like to have something yum! yum! for dessert. A dollop of whipped cream or shaved chocolate on a dessert makes it more special. Tonight, we made "Fruitylicious Yogurt Parfaits." But sometimes, you just need to have that ice cream sandwich!

Here I am checking out at the grocery store. I just love self check-out!

















Have a great time at the grocery store! And remember, get creative in the kitchen!

Bon Appetit, Eliana
