Often wonder what to buy at the grocery
store? Use this list to guide you as you
choose nutritious foods, snacks and
beverages.
Choose organic when possible. Buy USA-grown
produce, rather than imported. Wash fresh
fruits/vegetables in water with small amount of
detergent, baking soda or lemon; rinse well.
Frozen Vegetable & Stir Fry Meals
Shopping
Tips:
Fresh & frozen vegetables are similar in
nutrient content
Compare the 'per serving' cost of different
brands. Many grocery stores put this
information on the shelf label.
Cheaper brands often offer the same quality
as the name brands. Experiment with
different brands to be sure.
Don't shop while you are hungry. You'll end up
buying a lot more than you need!
