10 Ways to Eat Healthy and Save Money
by
- Reduce the amount of prepackaged and processed foods you buy.
- If you can’t buy fresh, buy frozen.
- Take advantage of BOGO (buy 1 get one). Many groceries offer this with healthy foods. Buy them in bulk if you can.
- Buy everything you need in one trip. This saves on gas and reduces impulse buying.
- Make a meal from what you have on hand. This doesn’t mean let your cabinets go bare, just be a bit more creative.
- Consider one or two meatless meals each week.
- Eat more beans. They’re a protein and a good carb. More bang for your buck.
- Bring your lunch to work.
- Only clip and use coupons for items that you need. .25 off organic hearts of palm is not a deal if you don’t eat them.
- Shop the perimeter of the store, and learn to read the cost per unit label which is on the shelf below the item you’re buying. That tidbit of info really tells you how much you’re paying.
Go forth, shop, eat and be well.
