You try to be cautious with your money. Seeing that weekly grocery store bill can make you cringe. Don't get discouraged with price of eating healthy. It is unfortunate that it is cheaper to buy processed junk. Think of eating fruits and vegetables as an insurance policy to help keep you healthy. Changing how you shop will save you more money then where you shop. Over half of all grocery purchasing decisions are made inside the store. Use the following tips to your advantage:

• Stick with an organized list.
• Eat first. Hungry shoppers overbuy and purchase more prepared (and less healthy) foods.
• Shop alone if possible. A companion can easily cause you to stray from your list and increase the food bill. 
• Get a grocery store loyalty card
• Shop the perimeter to fill up on fruits, veggies, and protein.
• Compare unit prices of different product sizes and brands. Unit prices are found on the shelf tags below the food items.
• Buy in bulk.
• Make your own single-serving snack packs from larger bags of food.
