SOME BEST BUYS FOR COST AND NUTRITION
BREADS AND GRAINS
Look for bargains on day-old bread and bakery products.
Buy regular rice, oatmeal, and grits instead of the instant and
flavored types.
Try whole-grain bread and brown rice to add nutrients and variety
to family meals.
VEGETABLES AND SALADS Look for large bags of frozen vegetables. They may be bargains and you can
cook just the amount you need, close the bag tightly, and put the rest back in
the freezer.
Foods at salad bars can be costly. Some food items—lettuce, cabbage, onions,
and carrots—usually cost less in the produce section of the store than at the
salad bar. But if you need only a small amount of a vegetable, buying at the
salad bar can save money if it reduces the amount you waste.
FRUITS
Buy fresh fruits in season, when they generally cost less.
