	<p>Shopping Tips: 
	<ol style="a">
		<li><b>Don’t Go Hungry.</b><br /> 
	Make sure you have a snack before you go to the grocery store. Otherwise, your hunger will convince you too buy too many high-calorie, junk foods. </li>
	
		<li><b>Shop the perimeter of the store.</b><br />
	The perimeter of the store has the healthiest foods like breads, produce and dairy products. The junk foods are usually in the aisles, so avoid those aisles.</li>  
	
		<li><b>Have a List…</b><br />
	….and stick to it. Knowing exactly what you need will keep your trip short and efficient. It will also keep you from over-spending and getting foods you don’t need.</li> 
	</ol>
