5 | Grocery Shopping 101: 3 Rules for Stress Free, Smart Shopping (Meal Prep part 2)

Welcome back!

If meal prep is the “what,” grocery shopping is the “how.” And let’s be honest—if you’ve ever walked into the store hungry, list-less, and overwhelmed by all the shiny new snacks on the shelves, you know how easy it is to spend too much, buy too much, and waste too much.

In this episode of the More Than a Number podcast, I’m sharing my 3 simple rules to make grocery shopping quicker, easier, and aligned with your health goals (without draining your wallet or your willpower).

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✨ The #1 mistake most people make before they even step foot in the store
✨ Why a detailed list is non-negotiable (and how to make one that keeps you on track)
✨ How to navigate the store so you only grab what you truly need
✨ Mindset strategies to resist temptation—whether that’s prayer, mantras, or simply making decisions ahead of time
✨ Why frozen and canned produce can be just as smart (and sometimes smarter!) choices than fresh

We’ll also talk about how everything in your cart should have a purpose—and how to make sure your groceries actually turn into meals instead of landing in the trash.

Meal prep starts at the store, and when you shop with intention, everything else feels easier.
