Depending on where you live, you probably have a couple of grocery stores to choose from. However, if you’re anything like me, you probably have your favorite that you spend most of your shopping budget on.
My wife and I are split on this. She likes shopping at Sprouts and I prefer Safeway because of its lower prices. But what if I told you that some people choose to shop at 7-Eleven?
A recent YouGov study found that 7-Eleven is America’s favorite grocery store for adults. That got me wondering something. What are some of the best things to purchase from 7-Eleven besides their Slurpees?
Keep reading as we look into five popular items worth purchasing at 7-Eleven.
Also here are 12 things you should never buy at a gas station.
Mixed Fresh Fruit Cups
Do you frequently throw out expired fruit from your refrigerator? If so, it might make sense to purchase smaller quantities. The cost might be slightly higher, but there will be less waste.Â
7-Eleven sells two mixed fruit cups that give you a variety of fruits. The Fruit Harvest Blend Fruit Cup includes strawberries, apple slices and red grapes. You can also purchase a Fruit Blend Fruit Cup, which includes red grapes, pineapple, cantaloupe and honeydew.
7-Select Organic Cold Pressed Juice
Another healthy option is any of their cold-pressed juices. While they have some from name brands, 7-Eleven also carries its own store brand. One of the more popular options is the 7-Select Clean & Green, which contains kale, cucumber, apple, spinach, mint, celery, lime and parsley. These juices are USDA-certified organic and non-GMO.
Chicken Salad Sandwich
Sometimes, you need a quick meal on the go. For these times, the 7-Eleven chicken salad is a great option. It consists of diced chicken, celery and reduced-fat mayonnaise. This salad has enough protein to keep you satisfied and helps you avoid some of the other fried food options that might be tempting you.
Pizza
If you’re in the mood for pizza but don’t want to spend the money on a nicer brick-oven pizza, why not pick up an already baked cheese or pepperoni pizza from 7-Eleven? While they might not win any best pizza awards, they are still tasty and less expensive than ordering from a chain like Pizza Hut or Papa John’s.
Beef Jerky
7-Eleven has many snack options available. Unfortunately, many aren’t very healthy for you. However, they have an extensive selection of beef jerky. Not only is this a low-calorie, high-protein option, but it’s also high in vitamin B12 and Zinc. Plus, because of the amount of protein in beef jerky, it’s going to help keep you satisfied for an extended period.
