Do you like grocery shopping in Baie-Comeau, I do. My name is Billy, and I'm 6, and I am the best at sneaking things into my parent's shopping cart without them noticing. Except that they like that gross nutritious stuff, like green and purple things. Gross!
The following suggestions from the Consumer Action Handbook may help you save money when grocery shopping:
- Use a grocery list. You will be less likely to pick up extra and unnecessary items.
- Shop at the lower-priced food stores. Convenience stores often charge the highest prices.
- Compare price-per-ounce or other unit prices.
- Stock up on non-perishable items with low per-unit costs.
To help you make healthy food choices, the federal government posts dietary guidelines. Federal regulations also require many foods to identify fat content, fiber and nutrients on their labels.
