Balance convenience. The cost of convenience often shows up on the price tag. Life is busy and we can’t always prep from scratch. Find the balance that works for you.

Look for convenience foods with less processing and fewer additives. These are becoming more plentiful as food companies respond to consumers wanting to know what is in the food they are eating by simplifying ingredients.
