Supermarket tour tips wanted

[S. Broughton]

I have conducted supermarket tours for ongoing classes I have taught.
Framework and focus was set before the tour.  Fun things to do - for focus
on fruits and vegetables have participants count the number of fruits and
 vegetables (70 different kinds at one store!) making it easy to get 5 A
DAY.  Use 3x5 cards with assignments ie best nutrition bargain for certain
food items.
I am currently planning a program for WIC client in collaboration with
local supermarket produce departments.  Key points selection
sampling, easy preparation to reach 5 A Day!                                 
Have fun with it!
