Online Grocery Shopping Options

Essential Groceries that are Available Online

In response to the current COVID-19 situation in Canada, we are all working together and doing our best to alter our behaviour and combat the spread of the virus to keep ourselves healthy and minimize the risk to our communities. People are working from home as much as possible, we are practicing ‘social distancing’ to give each other more personal space when out in public, and we are all ramping up personal hygiene and disinfection efforts.

The good news is that food distribution warehouses and grocery outlets are still operating during this time, and most people will continue to have access to the products they need. However, one step that we should all be taking as part of these efforts is making the wise decision to conduct more of our essential shopping via online sources instead of heading out in to public to obtain what we need.

Of course, fewer trips to the grocery store doesn’t mean your kitchen and pantry can’t still be stocked with healthy low carb foods, snacks, and the many different ingredients you need. All your favourite low carb products to prepare delicious, nutritious meals for you and your family to stay healthy, energetic and satisfied can be found online here at The Low Carb Grocery.

Think About Shelf Life and Versatility

If you’re thinking about which groceries are essential for the next few weeks, you want to consider shelf life and versatility. Shelf life is important so that you can stock up on products that last awhile to avoid spoilage, as well as reduce the number of times you need to go to the grocery store. Versatility is helpful so that the products can be used in a multitude of different meals to avoid too much repetition in the foods you serve. Some examples of these types of products include noodles, baking mixes, sauces, seasonings, and snack foods, as well as meal replacement bars, drink mixes, and protein shakes.

Online Grocery Shopping

Here are some popular low carb products that you can easily order from our website, and some specific brands to help you decide which to choose if you are not already familiar with them.
