to make your grocery excursion healthy


Here's an easy way to make sure every grocery excursion is a healthy one! I got this from one of my favorite websites prevention.com. When you get home from the store, sit down with your receipt and three highlighter pens. Mark it up as follows:

Blue for every fresh food you purchased, such as fruits, vegetables, and fresh fish.

Yellow to note all the not-so-healthful packaged foods, including cookies, crackers, and frozen pizza.

Pink for those better-for-you in-between foods: wholesome but packaged goods like Greek-style yogurt and instant brown rice.

Ideally, at least 75% of the items in your cart should be blue or pink. If not, bring your receipt on your next grocery trip to revamp your food repertoire.

What a helpful tip for us to be a wise shopper and for us to keep healthy. Have a good evening all!
