Keep calm & grocery on -- How to shop safely & make your food go further during COVID-19 🛒🥕🍝

Today we find ourselves in an uncertain time. Our learning has moved online, we're practicing social distancing and following stay at home orders. One of the things that bring us outside of our bubble is the essential trip to the grocery store.

Is it safe to go? What can we do to shop safely and make the food we have go further?  We sat down with NAU Dietician Megan Meyer to find out how to navigate the grocery store and store our foods (hint: where you place your food in the refrigerator does matter). 

Looking to make your food go further? Megan also shares with us her best tips as well as a few of her favorite things.
