Giant Eagle - Be A Smart Shopper!

be a smart shopper

Visit your local Giant Eagle store for an interactive adventure!

Due to Covid-19, all in-store field trips are suspended at this time.

Part of being a smart shopper is making healthy choices. During this hands-on nutrition-based field trip, students practice healthy decision making with the help of MyPlate principles and nutrition facts. The Be A Smart Shopper! program opens the doors of your neighborhood Giant Eagle to teach valuable lessons on health and well-being. Expert dietitians and Field Trip Factory educators review the field trip content to ensure grade appropriateness, support of standards, and to create lasting memories long after the trip is over. Content includes building healthy habits, understanding portion size, making balanced meal choices and the benefits of staying active.
