"If you don't set goals for yourself other people will."

Seems like a good tip for life in general.

Not shoping when you are hungry and buying form a list are the best!

Another thing that supermarkets and other shops are doing is putting some kind of scent in the air, so when you just pass by the bakery, the smell of fresh bread can make you buy some, even if you are not hungry. Same goes for pizza, perfume, or delicious fruits.

Something that keeps me from buying junk is to check the expiration date. If something doesn't go bad for years and years, that is a clear sign that it has more preservatives than it does nutrition.

As an adman that studied this stuff i reccomend, as well, to look down, usually the cheap and healthy are there

Before even watching the video, I knew tip 1 would be don't shop when you're hungry. Guilty lol!

[EscapetheZoo]

the aisles concept is so true! never realized that until now!

Another good tip is look for foods with minimal packaging.

I really appreciated this one. Also, do not shop while stoned. Smoking a bowl ahead of time might take the edge off an uncomfortable social outing, but it also primes you to realize you really need that pizza and those chips and that cheese dip and those jalapeno poppers, all to get washed down with some chocolate milk before moving on to the Ben & Jerry's.

I would also say, buy frozen fruits and veggies. They're often cheaper, retain their nutrients and they won't get bad.. We all know we never eat all the fresh veggies we buy

If you avoid the isles you wont be able to get your baking or dry food goods, like cooking oil, bread, and lets not forget your cleaning supplies. Also I do a lot of my food shopping at Asian grocery stores so maybe that's the reason.

I absolutely Love these videos. I had to stop at tip 4. I can only speak as Customer in the UK.
The Supermarkets I use have on the shelf label a small print telling you how much the item costs pence per gram. I ALWAYS check that first or if it’s missing do a simple mental arithmetic and compare it to the bulk items. Every week I see an Item on “Sale”. For example a 4 pack of baked beans reduced still costs more than a 3 pack at normal price.

We’re dealing with robbers.

My best tip for the sick/ chronically Ill/ Chronic pain sufferers is to shop online and get delivery. It's a really good way to know exactly what your buying and how much your total will be at the checkout. Also you can just go to your kitchen if you're not sure if you need something. This is especially good if shopping causes you exhaustion and pain. It means you don't have to carry heavy items, which makes it easier to buy in bulk, and it's much easier to stay focused on your goal. The people that deliver even put it on my kitchen bench so all I have to do is put it away. I can get delivery for $4-$12 (Australian $$$) and honestly I couldn't keep up with shopping.without it.

You're 1st tip is also my #1. If I shop hungry or thirsty I always spend more! But then I always have lots of snacks and drinks which is also a win lol :) Great video!
