I'm trying to eat healthier, but I'm not sure how to read food labels.<|im_end|>

Reading food labels can be overwhelming, but start by looking for the ingredient list and nutrition facts. Check the serving size and pay attention to added sugars, sodium, and saturated fats.<|im_end|>

What should I look for in the ingredient list?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Look for whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Be wary of long lists with many unfamiliar words, as they may indicate added preservatives or artificial ingredients.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. What about sales and discounts at the grocery store?<|im_end|>

When shopping for groceries, try to plan your meals around what's on sale, and stock up on non-perishable items when they're at their cheapest. You can also use cashback apps or digital coupons to save even more.<|im_end|>
