SENIORS DAY OUT

đź›’ Pro Tip for Seniors Shopping for One đź’ś

Losing a loved one changes so many daily routines—including grocery shopping. If you're now buying for one instead of two, here are some ways to make it easier:

✨ Shop with a friend – Turn grocery shopping into a social outing to make it feel less overwhelming.

🥦 Buy fresh but in smaller quantities – This helps avoid waste while still enjoying fresh produce.

🛍️ Use the deli & bulk bins – Buy only what you need instead of pre-packaged portions.
🍲 Cook & freeze meals – Prepare meals in advance so you have easy, home-cooked options ready.

💡 Try meal kits or smaller portion services – These can help simplify cooking without excess leftovers.

Most importantly, be kind to yourself—adjusting takes time. 💜
