Welcome to Bashas’ HealthStyles Eat Smart

Bashas’ is committed to helping you and your family make healthier choices that are affordable and easy.

Shoppers looking for healthier food choices can now rely on Arizona’s hometown grocer for help. Bashas’ Supermarkets is the first grocery chain in the state to introduce a comprehensive nutrition education program for customers. Bashas’ new Eat Smart program consists of:

  • Colorful nutrition shelf tags in every aisle of the store that identify whether a food is a “healthier option,” is “heart healthy,” has “low sodium,” is “calcium rich,” has “reduced sugar” or is an “immune booster.” Look for these tags in your store.


  • Free Eat Smart nutritional information cards, with healthy eating tips and shopping lists. Available in-stores at the Eat Smart display.

  • Free monthly Eat Smart healthy shopping tours and special events at Bashas’ stores.

  • Eat Smart display in stores, featuring healthy products.

  • Eat Smart newsletter, featuring nutritional foods, recipes, coupons and fun nutrition activities for children. Available in-stores at the Eat Smart display.
