Thanks to all who have visited our site from Lifehacker and downloaded the Healthy Grocery Store Templates. And welcome to all our new subscribers!

Apologies to those who TRIED to download the templates but couldn’t connect to the blog. You crushed our servers! It’s okay, though, we don’t blame you. Things should be back to normal now. So happy shopping and most of all: happy eating!

A few folks have had some nifty suggestions for improvements:

• Checkboxes next to each item
• Seasonal grocery lists
• Columns sorted by grocery store aisles

Any other suggestions? Feel free to post them in the comments.

Grocery List Templates For Healthy People

Download: Excel or PDF

The trouble with existing grocery store templates is that they all include foods that are off the radar for us smarter-fitter folk. No offense to lovers of fish sticks and soda pop, it’s just that people like me don’t want this stuff on our grocery lists. The problem isn’t that we don’t eat corn chips or tater tots. It’s that we don’t want to be reminded that corn chips and tater tots are within an aisle’s reach, and so are sour cream, shredded cheese, ketchup and mayonnaise.

To save you time, calories and money, I bring you the Super Ultimate Grocery List Template. This grocery list will help you to

• Stay fit by shopping for healthy, whole food
• Keep track of the foods you need
• Make shopping faster
• Make sure you never forget an item
• Save money by avoiding impulse purchases and expensive, pre-packaged processed food

It’s available as a PDF and Excel spreadsheet. All cells are editable, so just add and delete items as you see fit. Then keep a copy on the fridge or in your wallet and use it to track the items you need so you’ll never forget to buy tomatoes, or be reminded to visit the Easy Cheese aisle.

Note: I made this list with me in mind, so you won’t find any meat here. Is this a problem? Any other thoughts or suggestions? Let me know what you think in the comments.
