How to Shop Healthy

healthy produce

Choosing the right foods can be easy.

They call it "shopping the perimeter"; shopping the outside of the store where all the fresh food resides.  Save-A-Lot has many healthy options around the outside of our store including fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, and dairy products.  While there are plenty of healthy options in our aisles, our fresh, high quality meat and produce are especially healthy and delicious.

Here are some shopping tips from our resident experts:

  • Fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean meats are the healthiest options.
  • Choose lean meats such as chicken breasts, fish, turkey, and leans cuts of beef.
  • If you are planning ahead, frozen fruits and vegetables have more health value than canned.
  • Choosing wheat bread instead of white has innumerable health benefits.  White bread and many other snack foods contain empty calories which means you'll have to eat more to get the nutrition your body needs.
  • Choose skim or low fat milk over whole milk.
  • Don't shop when you are hungry, you'll only buy more junk food!
