5 Tips for Smart Healthy Grocery Shopping - Avoid the Rat Maze

F*ck you beer can be healthy. Oh now I'm triggered to drink now.

I knew a knew a young lady, who only ate Hot Pockets. I told her the dangers of doing that, but she just told too be quiet she'll eat whatever she wants. I wonder what she is doing now 🤔😕 "EAT2LIVE NOT LIVE2EAT"

Thought there was going to be some insightful things on this one but nope… my mom taught me all of this in elementary school

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.

One thing he forgot to mention that really helps saving money and being healthy. It also does NOT consume that much more time that its alternative:
Learn to cook. 😁

Plant Based Diets ... Rock

Use Yuka App to see if the product is healthy or not!

Thank you! A banana!!!!!!🤣

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.

Woah woah I agree with it all but gotta snag some beer 🍻

Yes, learn this decades ago. Read books on frugality. Yet now that I am older sometimes fun to squander money on food that cost too much. I don't travel, don't own a car...but love food. Not junk food but expensive healthy food, when can get same nutrition in less costly food.

If I go to the store hungry I typically buy meal stuff to make multiple meals. That helps a lot.

никого не смущает что у его написано не правильно школа

Make a list and stick to it is number one.

A banana does not have 1 ingredient... js

But in the middle there are lying the good cheap things... At least here in. Germany

Awesome channel!

Funny how the "essential" products are the least essential. Stick mostly to veggies and grains and keep super healthy at the cheapest

Everything I buy to eat is in one small section. The produce section. It takes me 5 minutes to go grocery shopping. Literally! I spend more time in the cashier's line.

Avoid the aisles!
How inspiring!!

It is outrageous to say that those long words are "intentionally crafted to be misunderstood." The "long words" are either the common name or IUPAC name of different chemicals found in those foods. Those words don't mean much to the average person, but they can give an exact structure or a good idea of a chemical structure to a chemist.

showing the rats were unnecessary

Banana has one ingredient : banana berry
Captain obvious

Or hunt ur food down

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

Another good tip is look for foods with minimal packaging.

Since when does olive oil does not spoil? :|
Yeah, it's not flaxseed oil, but still. Even a fresh bottle from a supermarket has a chance of already being partially rancid.

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.

Lol nah where I live you won't find beer in any isle. It's on the side, right next to the milk

Tip 1.5 don't go shopping stoned. When those munchies hit it's over

Poor Cubans, they'll never be able to fallow the instructions of this video

The funny thing is: When I go grocery shopping hungry I just buy more of the healthy foods, because what I buy is not determined by what I want to eat in that moment but rather by which foods pass my "I can eat/buy this" checklist. So really going grocery shopping while hungry isn't a problem for me money- or healthwise, but I sometimes have a hard time fitting it all into my backpack.
Objective standards for food rule!

Plus: it's "five ingredients or fewer", not "less"

Looks at video. .. puts doritos back on shelf

Actually bananas have more than 10 ingredients

Tip #4: "But things in bulk that won't spoil." Then shows picture of oil... which spoils REALLY easy.

FAKE ASAPSCIENCE

It was like selling LEAN.

Wow huge tip there il start buying in bulk now... thanks now i just need to see whats best to buy in bulk

Agreed on almost everything except "most of which are long complicated words that are intentionally crafted to be misunderstood" umm no, the words used are the actual ingredients and/or chemicals oficial names used to be identified by health organization and people with a certain amount of food chemistry knowledge. On the contrary "long complicated words" would actually scare a consumer do the fact that they will think more about "chemicals" rather than "food" making them be afraid of "what am I eating".

As an example, its common to read "sodium benzoate" inmediatlly followed up by "(as a preservative)" because without clarifying what sodium benzoate is people would asociate chemical = unhealthy.

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!

Stupid video. Stick to products that have less than 5 ingredients??? Fuck off, this is a stupid myth.

I'm always hungry

Buying in a bulk is good too

this is so fucking wrong... so fucking wrong... when you are left with just a couple of euros, you just don't have a choice, you buy the cheapest shit possible, enough so you wont die of hunger and that's it.
