Health Tip: Shop Healthy Without Breaking the Bank
By LadyLively on October 16, 2015
Healthy eating doesn’t have to dent your wallet.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests how to buy healthier fare on a budget:
- Check coupons and flyers for lean meat, produce, low-fat dairy and other staples that are on sale.
- Your grocery list should focus on whole, fresh foods while avoiding packaged and prepared foods.
- Plan a menu that allows you to use ingredients several times to keep your list short and avoid waste.
- Shop for seasonal fresh produce, or opt for frozen varieties without added sugar or salt.
- Buy in bulk on sale to use in multiple recipes. Incorporate dried beans and whole grains for nutrition at a lower price.
- Use the most perishable ingredients, such as fish, early in the week to prevent spoilage and waste.
