Today's Food Shopping Tip
Don't make this common mistake
If your stomach is growling when you enter the store, then it's more likely you'll reach for junk food, such as potato chips and chocolate chip cookies. Avoid unhealthy choices by eating a healthy snack before you leave the house. If you find yourself getting hungry while you're grocery shopping, drink some water or buy some nuts to munch on.
