10 Healthy Groceries to Buy at Walmart Supercenter…and What to Avoid!

Confession: I used to be a Whole Foods shopper. Before that I bought my groceries at the gourmet-focused high-end Healthy Living Market in South Burlington Vermont. For most of my adult life I never dreamed I would ever buy my food at Walmart.

The transformation happened slowly. Jet-lagged after a trip to Southeast Asia five years ago I started making bleary-eyed 4 a.m. trips to the 24-hour Walmart in my Houston neighborhood. Only in the aisles did I realize it was a wonderland of worldly fare. And the prices? It wasn’t lack of sleep; it was discounts that matched or beat the international markets I’d visited but all in one place.
