Extend the Life of your Groceries with These Simple Tips!

Buying organic groceries can help you to feel better about the foods that you eat. As you shop at a grocery store in Vancouver, stocking up on things like fruits, vegetables, and breads, it's important to know how to extend the life of your groceries. After all, you don't want to discard anything, if at all possible.


First, be sure to adopt a first-in, first-out process with everything that you buy. This means that you should use everything that was bought first before you use anything that was purchased more recently.


Next, as you buy produce from the health foods store, be sure that it is bagged or wrapped before placing it in the fridge. Don't wash it until you're ready to actually use it, though.


You'll also want to freeze what you're not ready to use just yet. This includes loaves of bread, fruit, and even meat. You can slice the bread, cut and pit the fruit, and slice up the meat before it gets placed into the freezer so that it can be used as soon as it's thawed.


Of course, as you shop for your organic groceries, you'll also want to pay attention to what you buy. Here are a few tips to help you with your shopping:

  • Carefully select produce that is still in good condition,

  • Check the expiration dates of all products, and

  • Buy in sensible quantities.

It can always be heart-breaking when you have to throw food away after shopping at a health foods store. By cleaning out your fridge on a regular basis, you'll be able to see what you do have so that you're not buying more of what's already there. Plus, cleaning the shelves and drawers will also remove bacteria that could cause your food to spoil.
