Unhealthy Foods - Not The Best Deal

With household incomes on the decline, shopping for deals at the grocery store seems like a good idea. But a recent study found that the products featured in sales and promotions are usually not your best buy nutritionally. In fact, the researchers found that the best deals were on the beverages that were highest in sugar and calories!

It's a good reminder to all of us: If you're shopping for bargains, be sure to check the Nutrition Facts label just as carefully as you do the sale price! When resources are tight, it's especially important to spend them on healthy, nourishing foods.
