How to Shop for Whole Foods – AKA: Shop the Perimeter!
Years ago, there was this really awesome concept called “shop the perimeter” that has stuck with me. Start with loading your cart full of fresh fruits and vegetables. Next, head to the organic and pastured meats and eggs, pick up a few bags of organic beans to soak and cook. Then, the frozen fruits and vegetables before hitting the checkout. Okay, maybe grab a bottle of wine first!
