Everyone seem to be on a rush. We all know time is gold and as much as possible, we like to do things all at once and the fastest way we can. That said, I have several time saving tricks to share (at least from a homemaker’s point of view).
- Plan meals in advance – Who doesn’t? Well, you’d be surprised to know, there are still homemakers out there that really does not plan ahead. Creating a weekly menu will save you a lot of time by not going to the store often and you’ll be done shopping faster.
- Shop online – Some people now do online grocery shopping. I haven’t myself, but I assume this must save a lot of time.
- Shop on Wednesday – Research say grocery stores are less crowded on this day plus the shelves are likely to be well stocked.
- Scan it yourself – This I love the most. In our area, the self-checkout counters are almost always faster. People tend to still wait in line for the cashier.
It’s funny I should run across your post about planning meals in advance, as I post our household menu weekly on my blog. It is part of my overall routine for the week. This pre-planning reflects the importance I put on personal responsibility for the quality of our lifestyle. It is so much easier to make good choices when you take the time to make a plan and live by it – as much as is possible, that is!
I enjoy your insights and I am going to subscribe to read what more you have to share!
it’s true gina. that’s why even if it takes a while to sit down and plan, there is simply no better way. thanks for commenting.
That’s funny about shopping on Wednesday. The grocery store here runs their ads from Thursday through Wednesday – so by Wednesday they are usually out of a several of the advertised items. Also, they run their double coupon specials on the last Wednesday of the month. Of course, maybe that is their attempt to get people into the store?
that’s probably “it” anna.
