Buy fresh, seasonal vegetables. They cost less and are more likely to be at their peak flavor.

Look for lower fat cheeses like part-skim mozzarella, or reduced fat versions of Monterey Jack, Swiss, Colby, Cheddar & Muenster.

Shopping tip: Find specials and coupons in your local paper or online for discounts on fresh, frozen, dried or canned fruits.

Cook it once, eat twice. Make extra vegetables and save some for later. Use them for a stew, soup, or a pasta dish.
