Aimlessly cruising the snack aisle isn’t an option for busy moms. Melea Johnson of freebies 2deals.com offers her speedy supermarket strategies.

Make a list. Plan weekly meals and organize ingredients by aisles, sales or simple must-haves.
 
Shop on the edge. Go along the perimeter of the store first, which offers the healthiest foods, like produce, dairy and meat.

Go solo. Self-checkout is fastest, but leave the kids home, if possible, to avoid “I want this” whines.

Tip: Avoid impulse purchases by having a snack before you head to the market.
