Healthy Food Shopping

| Comments Off on Healthy Food Shopping

Here are some general guidelines for healthy food shopping when counting calories and pennies: *Buy whole foods. *Cook more of your own meals. Cooking at home is easier on your budget than eating out or buying meals precooked and gives you total calorie counting control. *Buy in bulk. Put your freezer to good use; large bags of frozen vegetables and fruits can  save you money over fresh produce. *Buy in season. Buying fruits and veggies in season is always easier on your budget. *Try dishes with beans and rice. Both beans and rice are budget friendly, especially when bought in bulk, and can add fiber, nutrients, and texture to any meal. They can be a healthy, low-fat meal on their own.
