Myth: Limit your grocery trips to once per week
Getting all of your groceries in one trip is admirable, but if you buy large quantities of perishable items, some of those goods may go bad before you have the chance to finish them. It can actually be less expensive and wasteful to make multiple trips to the supermarket throughout the week. On the other hand, limiting your shopping trips to once or twice per month can encourage you to buy staple items in bulk—and reduce impulse purchases. Find a happy medium that fits your diet and lifestyle.
