“Planning a shopping cart helps you spend less time in the store, which also means a greater chance of avoiding contacts. Also, pre-planning the menu helps to save time, reduce food waste and shop safely, ”says V. Budrienė in a press release.
According to the communication manager of Iki, shopping is as easy and safe as possible with a few small recommendations.
Plan your weekly menu. Consider not only the main dishes, but also what snacks to satisfy your sudden hunger or pamper yourself. See how many and what products you have in the refrigerator, evaluate which products may be out of stock soon. Have your shopping list on your phone or handy so you can easily add it when needed.
You can also use various downloadable applications or the note-taking function already installed on your phone. This will help you plan and remind you of your essential purchases, allow you to see what you’ve bought before, and when the new shopping moment comes, spend less time compiling the list.
Group your shopping list. Write dairy next to dairy and grocery next to grocery products. Organize the list according to the layout of the store where you shop so you don’t have to walk from one side of the store to the other when shopping.
Buy only by list. Not only will this help you shop faster, but it will also save you money because you won’t buy products that you may not be consuming. Choose larger packages for longer lasting products.
Try to change your shopping habits as much as possible and visit supermarkets as little as possible during peak hours, from 5 to 7 p.m..when most are used to shopping after work. It would be better to move purchases, if possible, to the next time of day.
Always keep a safe distance. If you see people near the shelf of the products you need, wait for them to leave. Also, consider whether you will need to buy food in bulk; take only with gloves.
To reduce food waste, store fresh food properly. As soon as you leave the store, put the products in the fridge. Those with a shorter shelf life should be placed in front of the refrigerator for faster consumption.
Use product residue to minimize disposal. Review the products available and think about what kind of dish you can prepare with them. If you have prepared more than you can eat, freeze some. Remember to write the date on them to remember when to consume.
The head of communication says that following these tips will make shopping less stressful. Also remember that the retail chain takes all necessary measures to make purchases as safe as possible. In stores, the flow of shoppers is regulated by carts and baskets, disinfectants are available at the entrance, protective masks must be worn, a safe distance must be maintained, and physical contact must be avoided. Advertising of promotions and discounts has also been suspended so that the flow of buyers to the points of sale does not increase further.
