Can I really eat a healthy diet on a budget?
The answer: Yes – if you plan ahead! Planning is a big part of meal prepping, something we’ve been talking a lot about this month.
A few tips for saving $$$ at the grocery store:
*Shop sales, especially when it comes to proteins & produce
*Canned foods like pumpkin, legumes (dried even better), and tomatoes can be big money savers
*Frozen veggies + fruits are budget-friendly, and they have a longer shelf life than fresh
*Look for foods that pack a lot of nutrition for their cost, like potatoes, rice, oatmeal, eggs, cottage cheese, fresh spinach, and carrots
*Avoid buying foods just because they’re “healthy” – if you’re not going to eat them, they aren’t a good deal
*Buying in bulk can also be a money saver, as long as you are sure you’re going to actually use food!
