Saving Money on Your Groceries

There are many ways to save on healthy choices, including the following tips.

• Buy produce in season for the best prices. For March, it's mangos, strawberries, asparagus and artichokes.
• March is also National Frozen Food Month, so look for special promotions in the freezer aisle.
• Avoid snack-size packaging, which costs more per unit for the convenience of not packing your own healthy snacks.
• Shop on Tuesdays for clearance on the week's sale items because most stores come out with their new circulars on Wednesday.
• Buy basics such as brown rice, oats and yogurt in bulk if possible for healthier baking and cooking.
• Never leave home without your coupons.
