Eat Well & Within Your Budget

Sometimes we can splurge and other times money is tight. For those of us who thrive on organic whole foods this can be a challenge. But trust me, there is a way to eat well and still stick to your budget. Stores are always offering promotions on a variety of foods, they advertise their big sales in their flyers which most people drop directly in the trash. Take 10-15 minutes before your shopping adventure to see what’s on sale compared to what is on your grocery list. In order to keep your diet vibrant and full of variety, only buy fruits and vegetables that are on sale. This way you save money and are getting different nutrients and colors into your diet without putting much thought into it.

1. Make a list and stick to it

2. Shop around and compare prices & cut coupons

3. Shop for bulk items, especially those that can be frozen or have a long shelf life like oats

4. Understand the Clean 15 vs. the Dirty Dozen

5. Increase your vegetable, fruit and whole grain intake, these items are more affordable than quality standard meats.
