 At the grocery store, beware of foods in every aisle that are waiting to undermine your healthful shopping trip.

Here are a few tips to help you save food dollars with heart-healthful foods:

•  Buy spices and herbs in plain containers. They cost less than those packaged in fancy jars.
•  Grow herbs in a window box and dry them for your economical supply.
•  Store spices away from the heat of a range or oven.

Filling your grocery cart with healthful foods is just the beginning of making healthy changes in your diet. You want the heart-healthy foods you buy to stay that way until they reach your plate. Take the Chef's Tour to find out more…then start cookin'!
