Shopping tips:

When you go shopping, are you really careful about what you buy and what you put in your cart? It is essential that each of us is able to make informed purchases to avoid bringing home products that we don't actually need.

• Reading the labels: understanding which food you are buying is the basis for an informed purchase, the label is the identity card of the food that we need to better understand what we are bringing to our tables.
• Read the nutritional tables: they are very useful because they give us specific information on the nutritional principles and their distribution within the products we buy. They allow us to make a comparison between the various products to understand, for example, which one has less salt, less fat, more protein...
• Shopping list: making a list of what you need is useful to avoid purchasing unnecessary foods/ingredients. It would be useful to avoid going shopping when you are hungry, because that is precisely when you make unconscious impulse purchases.
• Check the pantry often: it is a useful practice to avoid eliminating expired products, and above all you avoid waste.
• Check storage methods: you need to be careful when purchasing food products to avoid storing them incorrectly and having to throw them away before the expiry date.
• Check the expiry date: generally we should not find expired products on the shelves.
• By checking the expiry dates of foods you will avoid waste.
• Make sure the freshness of fruit and vegetables and their origin: the origin of a product is useful for obtaining the quality-price ratio. Another little tip on these products is represented by a conscious choice of seasonality which allows you to have the products in greater quantities and at a fair price.
• Pay attention to the cold chain: for frozen products it is necessary to use thermal bags and avoid purchasing those products that have frost or ice on the box because this could mean that they have suffered a thermal shock.
