Reply To: How do I eat healthy on a budget?

[Rachel Fiske]

To piggy back on Jessica’s great ideas, I find the easiest way to spend a lot of money on food is to shop often (shop per meal instead of shop for the week). If you haven’t had the chance to menu plan or any other reason comes up and you aren’t sure what to make, use this as an opportunity for creativity! Scan what you have in the fridge, and then google a healthy recipe that includes those ingredients. For example, if I have ground beef, beets and carrots in the fridge, often I can discover a new way to prepare those foods all together that I wouldn’t have considered, and one that is new and tasty!
