Healthy Eating On A Budget

Trust me I know all to well how hard it is to eat the right food when you are on a budget. The healthy food always seems to more expensive, then say snack foods. If you look at all the "great" sales at the grocery store it is always buy 1 get 1 on chips, cookies..etc. What about buy 1 get 1 fruits or veggies? Always look at the sale fliers and plan!

Here are some tips on eating healthy when you have a budget to stick to:

When cooking a big meal, make extra to freeze.

Use less expensive cuts of meat for casseroles that you slow cook; add extra vegetables and beans to make the meal go further.

Look high and low to find the less expensive generic or store brands on grocery shelves.

Take advantage of specials on broth, soups, pasta, rice, canned veggies, even bread and meat.

You can freeze perishable items (such as meat, milk, and even bread) in smaller portions to use as needed. So stock up if you find a great sale.
