We're constantly running exclusive specials on Vitalicious VitaTops in our daily emails, and Vitas can be stored in the freezer for a looooong time. Another deal-doling website?

<br>Aisle-by-Aisle Advice!
<br>
<br>Fruit and Veggies - Buy seasonal -- there's generally a lot of whatever's in season, so stores lower the price to sell it all while it's still fresh. Click here for our Budget-Friendly Fall Recipe Roundup! And frozen fruit and veggies are great any time of year… 
<br>
<br>Meat and Seafood - Take some time to compare prices. The meat counter could have a deal that beats the price of the packaged stuff; sometimes a big pack of frozen chicken breasts is your best bet. And frozen shrimp is a big YES -- much cheaper than fresh!

 
<br>
<br>Canned Foods - If you see a deal, stock up! Staples that we swear by? Canned beans, canned crushed tomatoes (lower in fat and generally cheaper than premade tomato sauce), canned/pouched tuna in water (a must!), light soup, and canned pineapple in juice (great as an ingredient or as a straight-up snack). 
<br>
<br>Bread - Keep it in the fridge or freezer to lengthen its shelf life. And a pack of high-fiber tortillas is a good investment, since you can bake them into thin pizza crusts, make wraps with them, or cut and bake 'em into chips! 
 
<br>
<br>Dairy - Generic/store-brand versions of fat-free and low-fat dairy items are smart choices. Also consider how well an item multitasks. For example, sour cream is good, but you're not gonna eat it with a spoon. Choosing fat-free plain yogurt (Greek or regular) will give you more options -- use it as a sour-cream swap, add to smoothies and parfaits, or just stir in a no-calorie sweetener packet and snack away! 
<br>
<br>Snacks and Sweets - Buy large bags, and ration your goodies out; it's good for your wallet and your waist. For a SERIOUSLY helpful guide to creating DIY 100-calorie snacks, click here!
