Plan your meals for the week
Stick to your grocery store list
Don’t buy things you may not use
Buy more whole foods – By skipping the processed and unhealthy foods, you can spend more of your budget on higher quality, healthy foods.
Stock up on sale items
Buy generic when you can – read labels
Buy produce in season – shop farmers market
Buy online (Vitacost, Thrive Market)

Buying cheese and shredding yourself is cheaper
Produce
Non organic is better than no produce at all
See clean 15 and dirty dozen list
Money saving meals
Breakfast, have one night per week
Eggs are very inexpensive (see frittata recipe)
Pancakes
Pasta
Make enough for leftovers for lunches.
Have “Meatless Monday” – use other protein sources – beans, lentils
You don’t have to break the bank to eat well.
There are many ways to eat healthy even on a very tight budget.
planning your meals, cooking at home, and making smart choices at the grocery store.
Also, keep in mind that junk food costs you twice.
Bad health comes with medical costs, drugs and even reduced work capacity.
Even if eating healthy was more expensive (which it doesn’t have to be), then it would still be worth it down the line.
You really can’t put a price on good health.
