Libra (September 23 to October 22): Cookies and Kale
It’s no coincidence that your sign is the scales, Libra—you crave balance in every area of your life. And that includes your grocery cart.

Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21): Granola bars
Work. Happy hour. PTA meetings. Spin class. You’ve always got something going on, Sag, so you’ll need easy grab-and-go snacks for your busy lifestyle. If you don’t have time to whip up easy snacks, stick to healthier packaged items like granola bars.

Of all the signs, you’re the most eclectic and adventurous, Aquarius. Which means you aren’t going to settle for the same old at the grocery store—instead, you’re going to branch out with international picks, like Ramen noodles for an authentic Asian dinner.
