(Newswire.net — November 21, 2018) — To eat well you don’t’ have to break your piggy bank. There are a myriad of ways to reduce food costs without compromising on quality and here we’ll share with you a few clever ways of doing just that. Now this will involve some planning ahead but isn’t your improved health worth it? This is where you say “of course!” and smile to yourself. So without further ado, check out these nifty tactics on how to eat well within the means of your wallet, courtesy of Healthline.
Buying what’s in season is the most obvious way to cut costs because that’s when supplies are at their peak which drives its price down. Stock up on the essentials first and for perishables, you should divide and freeze as it’s worth getting as much as you can when the price is just right.
Invest in large volume purchases so you’re eligible for the best selling rates, this point is especially good for getting grains, nuts and the like because they can be gradually used throughout the month with little concern about spoilage. This “volumizing” strategy could be applied to fruits and vegetable too but just remember they’d need to be frozen.
Coupons! Coupons! Coupons! Now who doesn’t just love coupons?! Proudly arm yourself with supermarket coupons and go enjoy those discounts. Stores are aware that the marked-up prices on shelves aren’t going to move all their goods so they’re willing to part with some profit.
Regular visits to a farmer’s market is a superb way of scoring best rate on fresh fruits and produce as they’re coming straight from the grower without all the overhead costs of supermarkets. When you go to a fancy store, you’re paying for the air conditioner, sleek automatic doors, building maintenance, staff and etc. in addition to the actual cost of goods purchased.
Put down the credit card and walk with only cash. Self-control and discipline is something to be exercised here and part of this strategy is to ensure only the essentials are purchased. So make a list, stick to it and if all else fails when at the checkout, it will suddenly click that taking up that large jar of pickles wasn’t worth losing out on bread, cheese and beans. Lesson learned: Stick to the list and spend only the cash at hand.
Last but not least, you should seriously think about buying more plant-based proteins than animal products. This isn’t some vegan pitch here, it’s merely advice founded on economics. Meat just simply cost more than fruits, grains and vegetables hence when to eat healthy on a budget may require you to expand your palette a bit. There are so many nutritional benefits for increasing your plant intake and with a bit of creativity, you’ll hardly miss the meat portion given up, moreover, your pocket will thank you.
“It’s very clear to read, and is accurate,” shares a verified HealthyWiser™ pH Health Test Strips for Saliva & Urine customer on Amazon. “My colors matched the box each and every time. Your mouth tends to be a bit more acid however, it gave the exact readings as the urine. I could definitely see a difference when I had consumed more broccoli, or lemon water on a particular day than not. The alkaline readings were much higher. I also tested with other family members and their readings were accurate as well and the colors matched as well. This is a very good way of monitoring your diet and keeping up-to-date on your alkaline levels.”
