Singles can save on groceries with strategic shopping tips | Dallas Morning News
Singles can save on groceries with strategic shopping tips | Dallas Morning News:
"The main strategy for food buying is the same for singles as it is for families: Don’t shop for what you need. Instead, shop for what’s on sale and stock up. In other words, buy multiples when it’s cheap — think half-price — and few or none when it’s full price. The difference for singles is the extent to which they can do that. Bulk-buying perishables is a bad idea, and some singles’ small apartments might not lend themselves to stockpiling jars, cans and boxes of food."

Like he says, they are “taking food off peoples’ plates!”"

Want to Avoid GMOs? Don't Buy "Natural" Foods | Care2 Causes: "There are some labels that do mean GMO-free. One of the the easiest ways to avoid GMOs is to look for organic products, plus you’ll be supporting the other benefits of organic agriculture. Another option is to look for products carrying the “Non-GMO Project Verified” seal. Consumer Reports’ independent testing confirmed foods with both labels met non-GMO standards."
