Being a food stylist means you spend a lot of time at the grocery store, and since the grocery store can be my personal hell, I try to spend as little time there as possible.
Once in a while, I’ll use a grocery delivery app, but most of the time, I need to “hand shop” my items to make sure they’re camera-ready (and within budget). There’s nothing worse than getting a bruised avocado or ugly lettuce that simply won’t work on camera. Even when the veggies aren’t going on camera, groceries are too expensive these days to waste money on low-quality products.
These tips will be helpful for anyone who wants to grocery shop like a pro!
1.
Always make a list and sort it by department.
2.
Shop various departments in a logical fashion.
3.
Bring your own bags and bag your own groceries.

5.

6.
Take inventory of what you’ve got and plan ahead for the entire week.
7.
Unpack and wash produce to lengthen its lifespan.
