Shop Local!
Shopping for produce grown in your area is a great way to save money: Without shipping and packaging costs, farmers can offer lower prices and still make a profit. You’ll be able to afford even more great foods for kidney health!
It supports local businesses: Many of us have tried to make an effort to shop locally to help support business in the area. Keeping these people in business usually has a beneficial effect on the neighborhood either by providing jobs or bringing in tourism/ new community members.
It’s good for the environment: Shopping locally cuts down in transportation, helping lower overall emissions in the food industry. Many of these farmers also use sustainable practices and less, if any, chemicals.*
So, go ahead and visit a local farmers market or an independent grocery store that sources the majority of their products locally. Your kidneys will thank you.
Shop the Seasonal Sales
There are a whole lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables being sold, which brings the price down. If the product is demand is lower than the product yield, sales will be used to get the product out before it spoils and costs the store or individual more money than they’d lose from a sale.

*A quick note about farmer’s markets; like in any profession, there may be frauds at play. Before purchasing from a vendor, get to know them, and ask them questions. Many will even invite you on a tour of the farm if you ask. If they’re being shady or dodging questions, it’s best to look at another vendor. Be sure to speak with other shoppers and get their opinions. You’re sure to find 1 or 2 that purchase frequently. Who knows, you might even make a new friend in the processes.
