HOW DO YOU CALCULATE
“VALUE” IN YOUR DIET?
FRESH ISN’T ALWAYS BEST
Fresh foods aren’t always more
nutritious than packaged alternatives
TIME IS MONEY
For many families, the cost of prep time is
just as important as the sticker price
EXTENDING FRESHNESS
Americans throw out 26% of their grocery items,
so the expiration date has value
OR
The value of price, time, and nutrition can vary
greatly between fresh and packaged foods.
BOTTOM LINE, THOUGH: “VALUE” IN ANY
FAMILY’S DIET IS A PERSONALIZED
ASSESSMENT BASED ON PRIORITIES AND
BUDGETS.
