We talked briefly about organic foods yesterday. This is not the main crux of today’s post… unless you really want to stretch your interpretation. I’m fine with any, as long as you keep reading! ;-)
Today is basically about this guy.
Ok, it’s not really about that guy, but rather his argument. It is completely possible to eat healthy while on a budget. MSNBC even did a story about it. It can be done.
For example, when you buy fresh fruits and vegetables, buy them when they’re in season. If you decide in the middle on winter that you really need an apple, it’s going to cost you more because that solitary apple has to be imported or brought in from another part of the country. There’s no reason to discount frozen vegetables, either. Just learn to read the labels, so you’re not getting anything crazy.
Also, you can make farmer’s markets your new haunt. While some of their items may seem expensive when you get there, it’s just like grocery shopping. No one wants to see the final bill because it’s a lot of money at one time. But break it down. You don’t have the benefit of the labels like at the grocery store, but a little more thought and maybe a calculator, which most cell phones have, added into the mix… you’re good to go.
Here are a couple more ideas on how to make sure you get your money’s worth on eating healthy. These 7 tips are pretty good and this one has lots of pictures to go along with the arguments.
And finally, without any further ado, here is the second video of the day, which is about picking out the right foods to eat healthy, which is the foundation of saving money in this endeavor.
