Purdue University Athletics Shares Grocery Shopping Tips
Oct 22, 2014
Meijer supports a variety of health and wellness initiatives for our customers, and we’re pleased to partner with like-minded organizations like Purdue University Athletics. Earlier this fall, Sports Dietitian Lauren Link from the university’s sports nutrition department filmed a grocery store tour at Meijer, sharing the do’s and don’ts of grocery shopping. Take a look at her tips:
- Always shop with a grocery list, and base it off a meal plan if you keep one
- Organize your list in the same order that you’ll walk around the store
- Include produce, fresh meat, low-fat dairy, whole grains and staple pantry items on your list
- Shop for produce that is in season, and vary your selection based on colors and ripeness so some will last longer
- Stock up on proteins when they’re on sale to put in the freezer
- Buy the store brand
- Limit splurge items to one per trip
- Join the grocery store’s rewards program
