Nutrition ArticlesShop SmartOne of the best choices you can make before heading out to the grocery store is to make a list. And of course it's best not to go on an empty stomach! Stick to the perimeter of the store where typically you will find foods from the four food groups. Plan to save money by checking the flyers for sales and choosing store brands, which are often less expensive and comparable in nutrition and quality. Look for symbols and logos on food packages that help to identify healthy choices. Lastly, you can look at the Nutrition Facts table on foods, which provides information to help you make a healthy choice. For more information on shopping smart, label reading, identifying healthy logos and symbols, and to visit a virtual grocery store check out the Dietitians of Canada.
