Grocery shopping these days is a different experience than it normally is. Between social distancing measures, outdoor lineups, and health officials urging Canadians to limit their shops to once a week, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way many of us shop.
To make the most of your grocery trips, it’s a good idea to plan ahead, said Nicole Marchand, a registered dietitian and owner of Eat Well Halifax.
Not only is a practical shopping list important, knowing how to use those items in recipes is key. “It is definitely about planning and knowing what you’re going to do with the food so that you’re not just throwing food away or having it sit there,” Marchand said.
