With 30% less fat than a bag of chips, Sensible Portions' items are a relatively low-fat and low-calorie way to graze. The ingredients include mostly potatoes, as well as tomato paste and spinach powder.

Pirate's Booty

Pirate's Booty makes cheesy puffs that are fun to eat—but be warned, your fingers will be covered in white cheddar powder by the end of it.

The Aged White Cheddar Rice & Corn Puffs aren't the healthiest on this list. With 18 grams of carbs, 6 grams of fat, and moderate levels of sodium, this is definitely a sometimes-snack. The brand also doesn't explicitly use non-GMO ingredients, so avoid it if you're going all-natural. This sells in a 10-ounce bag for $5.49.

8

PopCorners

For another non-fried chip option that you can nibble on, PopCorners is a new snack to debut at Kroger, with three flavors to fit a range of palates. Sea Salt, White Cheddar Cheese, and Sweet & Salty Kettle Corn are all gluten-free-friendly, made with non-GMO corn, and cost $3.79 for a 7-ounce bag.

These 5 Grocery Items Are Cheaper Than Ever Right Now

The grocery industry has been facing major disruptions. The combined effects of the pandemic, climate change, and economic uncertainty over the past couple of years have culminated in a series of supply chain breakdowns. For the consumer, this means supply shortages , shipping delays , and temporary store closures are becoming more commonplace – and all of the added production cost to suppliers is driving up food prices . The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index report for January 2022 was released on Feb. 9, and it tells the story of cost trends for every spending category over the past year.

Creatine supplementation before resistance training increases muscular strength and lean muscle mass. Interestingly, taking creatine immediately after lifting weights results in greater muscle growth than taking it immediately before. However, in terms of strength gains, no difference betw
