Part 3/7:
As items piled up in the cart, strategic selections were made. Ground turkey was chosen over ground beef for its affordability and high protein content. Canned goods like tomato chili starter and tomato paste were carefully selected for added flavor and versatility. The shopper also looked for beans, ultimately opting for pinto beans, which were cheaper than black beans but packed with similar nutrients.
Other essentials involved tortillas, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, garlic, and onions—all items chosen for their nutritional benefits and long shelf life, further enhancing their meal options for the week ahead.
