(1)     Make a list before going grocery shopping.

(2)     Your list should begin with fresh vegetables, grains, nuts, 
           and fruits, followed by other staples.

(3)     Know which produce are in season and purchase them.

(4)     Purchase unblemished produce, trimming defect will 
          defeat your super savings.

(5)    Select lean meat to avoid cutting away fat, or worse, 
          feasting on fat.

(6)     Look for fresh meat, poultry and sea food, they will have
           less moisture, or liquid settled inside to weigh them 
           down;  and besides, they will last longer.

(7)      Avoid shopping for groceries when you are in a hurry.

(8)       Invest time into reading labels on cans, packages, and 
            on frozen goods.

(9)      In my cookbook Fabulous Foods: Fun Flavors, I did not 
           recommend any particular food brand for a good reason:
           You select your own brands by judging the nutritional 
            information on the labels.

(10)    Choose products which list the most fiber content; the least 
            fat, salt, and sugar and the most natural ingredients.

(11)     Frest produce that spoils easily can be cooked, and stored
             inside the freezer.

(12)     Always check expiration dates, they shoud be current.

(13)     Shop after you have eaten and on a full stomach.  You should be
             satisfied and not hungry.

(14)      Check storage information and store accordingly.

(15)       Order copies of Fabulous Foods: Fun Flavors, at Amazon.com
              and give to friends and family members.  They are good as 
              wedding gift, birthday gift, anniversary gift, party gift or a holiday 
              present.
