Last month, I had the terrific opportunity to participate in an online presentation by Phil Lempert who is known as the “Supermarket Guru”. Phil is the food trends editor and correspondent for NBC News’ Today show, where he reports on consumer trends, food safety and money-saving tips, as well as showcases new products. He makes monthly appearances on ABC’s The View , and has appeared numerous times on The Oprah Winfrey Show, 20/20, CNN, CNBC, Discovery Health and MSNBC, as well as on local television morning and news programs throughout the country.

We listened as he talked about how important it is to give kids proper nutrition, how to correctly use coupons and save money on groceries, and information about ConAgra’s brands Healthy Choice and Peter Pan. It was a very informative webinar and I was happy to get the chance to ask a question that he answered right on the webcam as I was watching.  I asked him for school lunch tips, he suggests sending in little bites of things for younger kids, it’s easier for them to eat in the short amount of time they get for lunch if their foods are already cut up for them.

I also received a terrific canvas tote bag and Phil’s book “Healthy, Wealthy and Wise”, along with 5 coupons for free Orville Redenbacher popcorn and 3 coupons for free Hebrew National Brand hot dogs, as a thank-you gift for my time.  I have three totes to give away to Table for Five readers! You’ll love the huge canvas tote and the book has some great money-saving tips. Here’s how to enter:
