Smart Grocery Shopping
1. Concentrate shopping time around the perimeter of
the grocery store. Fill your cart with produce first.
2. Watch your beverages. Choose 100% fruit juices
instead of juice drinks and beware of soft drinks, which
can contain up to 11 teaspoons of sugar.
3. Do not shop when you are hungry.
4. Think whole grains! Cereals are a great source of
fiber. Find cereals with at least 5g fiber per serving.
5. Beware of featured items at the end of aisles and at
the check out counter. These foods are usually loaded
with fat and calories plus make you spend more money
on things you don’t really need.
6. Make a list, and stick to it.
7. If you are trying to find convenient, on-the-go items,
look for foods that are high in fiber and have both carbohydrates
and protein.
8. Clip coupons before you go to the store. Only use
