Hello, January 2019!

Grocery shopping is already a pretty time consuming task, but not knowing what to buy when you get there can be overwhelming and pricey during this time of year.

Just know that purchasing seasonal foods is a healthy and cost effective way to approach food shopping, because when you are buying season, the prices at the markets will at the lowest. Also note that supermarkets and grocery stores will also tend to stock up on these items in bulk because they are plentiful, making them less expensive for you—especially when they go on sale.

And remember, you can enjoy the taste of any fruit and vegetable the year-round. Whether is it fresh, frozen, canned, dried, and 100% juiced—-it all counts!
