Building on its proven success teaching families how to cook and eat healthy on a budget, Share Our Strength’s Cooking Matters™ has launched Shopping Matters, a guided grocery store tour that helps low-income adults make healthy and affordable choices at the supermarket. During a Shopping Matters tour, participants learn information and practical skills that help them understand how to purchase fruits and vegetables economically, save money by comparing unit prices, and make healthier choices by reading food labels and ingredient lists. Thanks to funding from the ConAgra Foods® Foundation and the Walmart Foundation, Share Our Strength is able to offer Shopping Matters free of charge to local tour facilitators and the low-income adults who participate in the tours.
