These Supermarket Myths Are Wasting Your Money

Myth: Stick to the store’s outer aisles

To protect your budget and waistline, most experts recommend shopping around the perimeter of the supermarket, where you’ll find most staple goods like produce, dairy, and poultry. But if you avoid the middle aisles, you’ll miss healthy (and budget-friendly!) items like beans, peanut butter, and tomato sauces. Just keep the cookies and chips out of your cart.
