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.
