When going grocery shopping it is a good idea to get into the habit of making a list and sticking to a food plan prior to arriving at the store. It is helpful to come up with a weekly menu before you go so you will not be tempted to buy too much food. This will also help control how much money you spend and limit how much food gets thrown out at the end of the week.
Make sure you eat before you go so that you don't overfill your basket with stuff you buy just because you are hungry. So many times I have gone to the store when I am hungry and bought chips,cakes and other fattening foods just to satisfy my hunger craving. Buy plenty of fruits and vegetables and try to get as many different colored fruit and vegetables to get as many nutrients as possible.
Check the ingredients of products that you buy to make sure there are no nasty surprises lurking in there. Also check the fat content to make sure that it doesn't have a high fat content.
