rsity of Michigan Health System nutritionist Holly Scherer:
- Look for the generic or store brand.
- Stock up on non-perishables when they go on sale.
- Avoid the temptation of the cookie aisle and the chip aisle. Spend more time in the perimeter of the store, where the fresh products are, and really focus on the fruits and the vegetables and the lean meats and the low-fat dairy, Scherer says.
- Use coupons, but only for things that you normally would buy, not a lot of high-fat, high-sugar foods.
- Cook at home instead of going out to eat.
- When you do eat out and you know that a restaurant serves large portions, have them bag half the meal right when they serve it and eat the leftovers for lunch the next day.
