Shop Smart

Healthy eating doesn’t have to break the bank.

Try these savvy shopping strategies:

Look for sales and coupons for fruits and vegetables.
Chop your own fruits and vegetables at home. Pre-cut produce costs more than whole.
Consider store-brand frozen fruits and veggies—they’re often less expensive than brand names.
Say no to single servings of produce. Small packages are often more expensive than larger ones.
Shop discount grocery stores for deals on fruits and vegetables—especially frozen and canned items--because they are all healthy for kids.
Pick supermarkets over convenience stores. Larger stores have a wider selection and produce is often cheaper.
Shop at local public markets for fresh produce. Try the Rochester Public Market or search for otherlocal farmer's markets.

Buy fresh fruits and vegetables in season when they tend to be less expensive. Check out the shopping smart guide.
