When picking up the bagged salad, Angela said she never takes the first off the shelf, but goes for the last one with a longer expiration date.
Second, she said she never buys bacon because she doesn’t like it.
“It’s just something I don’t like to eat,” she said.
Finally, Angela would never buy the big bag of Smiths chips, but instead the box of 20 small, individually portioned packets.
The health coach’s clip garnered more than 25,000 views and sparked a debate about bacon, with some followers sharing their grocery store hacks.

‘I can’t stand bacon! When my husband cooks bacon I have to open every window in the house… the smell alone makes me greasy, like I need a shower! So glad I’m not alone,” one wrote.
‘You must have bacon in your life, otherwise why bother,’ a second disagreed.
‘I have four children, so I buy the packets of crisps that are on sale and then divide them into small ziplock bags myself. Saves me so much money and only takes a few minutes. I also do that with Shapes’, a third explains.
‘I always pick the salads in the back too,’ replied a fourth.

Preparing meals in advance is a great way to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and Angela said it can help control hunger levels.
“If you’re super busy but still want to maintain a healthy lifestyle, maybe lose some weight and just feel good about yourself… This is how I prepare meals in less than 30 minutes,” she said in an Instagram video.
“If you find preparing meals overwhelming and time-consuming, take a look at this prep overview.”
First, she made three servings of the vegetarian Mexican salad in just five minutes and placed a paper towel on the food.
“With the paper towel, it actually helps absorb some of the moisture from the vegetables so they stay fresh longer,” she said in the clip.
For her second lunch meal, she prepared two servings of Aldi mango chicken with coconut rice and broccolini, which she admitted tasted “so good” (left). For breakfast she made coconut, lemon and blueberry oats (right)

For breakfast she made coconut, lemon and blueberry oats and for snacks she bought Greek yogurt and fruit.
“If you want to get leaner, planning and preparation will be SO important to keep you on track,” Angela wrote.
“Most women fail to achieve their goals because they are not prepared and just go for it.”
The quick meal ideas show that you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen cooking from scratch.
“All you need is a good plan of attack and some simple, healthy and delicious meal ideas,” she said.
The tips received praise from other Instagram users who called the ideas “inspiring.”
