Sponsored: SUPERMARKET MYTH #1: Shop the Perimeter of the Store for “Healthy Food”

Fact: Nutritious and economical items can be found throughout the store.

If you only shopped the perimeter of the grocery store you might miss items like canned, frozen and dried fruits and vegetables, canned and dried beans, nuts, spices, canned/packaged meat like tuna and salmon, as well as baking supplies.

Better Saying: Be a smart shopper and shop the entire store for foods that can help you make nutritious and economical meals.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
