Buying in bulk will save you money in the end, especially for the larger

 Calcium: adequate calcium intake will help ensure the health of our bones. Research has also shown that along with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains,
calcium can help in the control of high blood pressure. Adults need 2 to 3
servings everyday with 8 ounces of low-fat milk, 1 ounce of cheese, or a half
cup low-fat cottage cheese equalling a serving. |

Research is now telling us that butter spreads made with hydrogenated fats may cause more harm than good. Look at the ingredients label next time you go to the store. If it includes hydrogenated fats, leave it on the shelf. Try "Take Control" or "Brummel and Brown".
