don't buy it whether looking to save some cash or trying to eat on the more healthy side
knowing what to avoid on the supermarket shelves is essential so to help you out here are 10 of the
worst grocery store foods that you should never buy trust me mayonnaise here's the hellman's magic
creamy dreamy there's a reason mayonnaise is often associated with fattening extra unhealthy meals
and sandwiches compared to most other condiments mayo has a track record for having the most
things that are bad for your health calories salt and fat content even in low-fat and low-calorie
versions of the sauce easily exceed nearly every other popular condiment you're likely
to stock in your fridge thankfully there are tons of condiment alternatives that can help spice up
your sandwiches and other dishes without piling on the calories and clogging your
hold arteries mayonnaise hot sauce is an especially good alternative while it's
still a bit high in the sodium department these sauces typically have almost no calorie content
and are made with ingredients that actually deliver nutritional benefits even condiments
you might think are unhealthy such as mustard and ketchup tend to be about half as devastating to
your body as mayo and as an added bonus many of the more healthy condiment alternatives
average out to be much less expensive per serving white bread we first met in a grocery store
i couldn't look away i mean look at him many lackluster or unmemorable pieces of music are
often referred to as being stale or bland as white bread while the innovation of sliced
bread is beloved the actual taste of the product is much less acclaimed beyond just being much less
satisfying and tasty as other breads made with more natural wheat and organic ingredients the
actual nutritional value of the stuff is one step away from non-existent that's right despite its
seemingly perfect presentation white bread may be one of the least beneficial products that you're
likely purchasing on a regular basis i think that's your shopping list no these are my vows
given that the food choices usually being put between slices of white bread are not much
healthier than the bread itself this becomes one of the most life-changing switch-ups you
can make to your grocery list next time you go shopping the calories might be fairly low
and the price might be in most cases cheaper than other breads but the impact white bread is having
on your body's health is hard to understate once you make the leap to buying wheat packed
more nutritional bread products which thankfully barely have any more calories than white bread
you'll be thrilled to find you're not only feeling better after having that sandwich but
the sandwich will probably taste better than you ever remembered it tasting on white bread oreos
that's crazy the cookie's the best part it's difficult to find someone who isn't aware of the
nutritionally atrocious track record of cookie snack foods even with the healthiest of cookie
brands it's difficult to justify how little nutrition and satisfaction you get from them
even the golden oreos which many consumers assume are somehow much better for them
barely makes a difference when it comes to cost and dietary impact and that's not even considering
how annoying it can be to find a store that actually stocks them among the most popular snack
cookie brands one brand stands out as one of the absolute worst snack food choices you can go with
oreos there's only one cookie with something in the middle that solves life's problem and that's
an oreo whether it's a plain old bag of oreos or the even less healthy double stuffed variety
the sheer amount of calories packed into each bite is insane with the mega stuff brand in particular
you'll be clocking in 180 whole calories by eating two measly cookies not only is that
portion almost guaranteed to leave most snackers unsatisfied but it becomes a perfect ingredient
for ruining a healthy responsible dieting streak with the prices of most snack foods rising quickly
over the last year your wallet will be happy to avoid this unhealthy underfilling and often highly
expensive snack food pre-packaged salad kits uh salad pre-packaged salad kits might have a fair
amount of nutrition packed into them and hold both convenience and calorie-friendly qualities
but they are one of the most notoriously overpriced products you're likely to come across
at your local grocery store while you might be paying upwards of ten dollars for the convenience
of the pre-packaged kit a bit more effort can help you get several more servings of the same
salad for half the price with this much potential savings to be had you'd have to have a bezos size
bank account not to make this wallet-friendly transition in your shopping habits save money
absolutely especially when it comes to salads made solely of leafy greens and a few vegetables
the effort involved in changing this habit comes highly recommended it's time to let your wallet
feel that same breath of fresh air as your body does when it comes to your otherwise fantastic
salad habits while you're at it be sure to consider the condiment and sauce-based suggestions
in this list when you go to actually construct your newly cost effective salad meals frozen pizza
pizza come on in if you've ever struggled to keep the fridge full while sticking to a budget
the appeal of buying large amounts of frozen pizza is an easy option unfortunately frozen pizza is
one of the least sustainable and most unhealthy commonly bought frozen entrees you can buy
the excessive amount of cheeses fattening meats and thick breadcrust nearly guarantees that
even some of the healthier frozen pizza choices should stay far away from a responsible consumer's
grocery list that's unfair it's incredibly unfair frozen pizza has many other issues regarding its
nutritional value and its pricing most importantly it's difficult to keep leftover frozen pizza
as most consumers familiar with these products know they have to be eaten fresh out of the oven
due to this people often over indulge in their portions when making the stuff and go far beyond
a reasonable meals worth of pizza in one sitting mix this with the fact that most frozen pizzas
nutrition labels which are already daunting to read are only accounting for a force of said pizza
and you'll be much more hesitant to buy these products next time you're at the grocery store
lastly the sheer amount of preservatives and nutrition negating ingredients that are used
to keep the pizza edible despite being frozen for so long or downright unappetizing save yourself a
tummy ache and avoid frozen pizza altogether when possible as many other budget-friendly
alternatives are available baloney this however is baloney deli meats can be tricky when it
comes to their nutritional value and dollar saving potential the more you buy in bulk the better off
you tend to be price-wise but there are many deli meats that simply are not worth the expenditure
turkey is by far your best choice and of the popular deli meats bologna is by far the worst
given the fact that many kids tend to get bologna sandwiches in their lunchboxes the potential
for unhealthy eating habits to form around this amorphous meat product becomes that much higher
since the bologna is often placed between another offender on our list being something that's good
for you is a difficult order to fill can't be healthy delicious and gourmet not only
is bologna packed with many more calories per gram than all other popular deli meats but the protein
available in each serving is severely lacking when compared to more beneficial choices like
turkey still not convinced consider the amount of salt in bologna just two slices average around 740
milligrams of sodium making it incredibly bad for heart health and to top it all off the hodgepodge
of ingredients that are used to concoct this already suspect lunch meat makes it look visually
unappealing as well you deserve more than just plain old bologna in your sandwiches bulk
candy candy cane candy not unlike cookies candy is one of the most notoriously unhealthy and
malnutritious snack foods on the market even more absurd when it comes to candy however is the cost
of the stuff despite being sold in bulk the amount you're paying for candy is almost certainly higher
than it's worth especially considering how unfilling the products tend to be after all
it's hard to think of a snack food that is more frequently binged than candy when you buy candy
in bulk you also put yourself at a greater risk of running into the chip and cookie dilemma of
literally being unable to eat just one serving my candy my beautiful candy due to this you're likely
to pack your gut with an already high calorie snack that will leave your body requiring more
food later on to properly sustain itself to avoid spending too much on candy and to save yourself
a deluge of calories every time you get a craving save your candy purchases for special occasions or
just for when you're actually out grocery shopping doing so will help you reduce the cravings and
allow your body to process these sugar calorie heavy treats in a more manageable fashion
ranch dressing we're nearly out of ranch dressing while mayo may be more notoriously unhealthy
than ranch dressing ranch still reigns supreme in being one of the worst possible condiment choices
you can make both for your body and your bank account despite being deliciously creamy and often
packaged with or marketed alongside of healthy foods like salads the extreme amount of fat and
calories packed into the famous sauce is high enough to make mayo products blush either love
it or you really love it however the inclusion of ranch on this list is sure to bum out many
especially those that adore the majestic king of unhealthy food buffalo wings there's a tendency
for consumers looking for healthy alternatives to ranch dressing to branch out into low fat
low calorie and even vegan style ranch dressings however these labels rarely save the customer in
terms of calories and often cost even more than the original product they're trying to imitate
with vegan ranch especially you may be looking at more calories than regular ranch dressing
once again trying to replace your ranch dressing needs with more cost and gut-friendly options
such as hot sauce mustard and ketchup is highly recommended why not cut this product off your
list at the same time as prepackaged salad kits for an extra epic change canned peaches
more than any other item on this list you are likely to be tilting your head
in confusion at this entry after all fruits have a tendency to be healthy and
filled with good sugars right unfortunately not all fruits are on the same level here and certain
ways of preserving fruits greatly diminish the otherwise healthy qualities of the food while
canned goods are typically a wallet-friendly way of grabbing bulk fruits or vegetables
they are also one of the most consistently less healthy ways of doing so as well
canned peaches are especially important to note here as they require a much larger amount
of preservatives and in can juices and syrups to keep the fruit edible not only does this greatly
increase the calorie content of the canned peaches but it ensures that many of the nutritional
benefits peaches are known for fade away as they wait to be eaten do yourself a favor and take
that extra step of buying fresh peaches if you can next time you're craving this otherwise healthily
sweet treat just be sure to use the peaches you buy quickly as they tend not to have a very long
shelf life when they're not canned ice cream oh well at least we enjoyed the show while it's hard
to resist the delicious sweet satisfaction of ice cream it's one of the most harmful things
for both your health and your wallet with the rising price of ice cream and the fact that most
of the real good flavors come in expensive smaller containers ditching this food product is for the
best additionally you can begin adding other foods into your daily diet routine if you cut out this
pesky treat with how notoriously unhealthy ice cream tends to be it's no surprise it's made it
onto our list of 10 worst grocery store foods that you should never buy good point i didn't
want to hear that want to gain a better idea of just how excessive ice cream tends to be take one
of the most famous flavors from one of america's top ice cream brands ben and jerry's chubby hubby
a single serving of the stuff contains the same amount of sugar as three typical glazed donuts
while donuts are far from an ideal substitute for ice cream it's easily a better choice in
terms of sugar-heavy snack and donuts tend to have more nutritional value overall as well even less
popular less sugar-packed flavors are likely to have at least the same amount of sugar as two
typical glazed donuts so avoiding the product is probably for the best searching for another
