One of the most frequent reasons I hear from people for not eating as healthy as they’d like to is that it’s too expensive.  It can certainly appear that way at first glance -- but after a bit of evaluating you soon realize that eating healthy is absolutely possible on a budget.  In fact, once you get the hang of it, it can be quite simple! 
​I'm going to share some of my tried-and-true tips on how to eat healthy without breaking the bank.  Take these tips and make them habits in your life, and you'll soon find you can successfully have a healthier kitchen without sacrificing a large chunk of your bank account. 
 
Shop the perimeter.  Think about it -- all of the healthy items are on the outside perimeter of the store.  For the most part, the inside aisles are the pre-packaged, boxed foods that typically aren't ideal for a healthy lifestyle. – and they’re more expensive per serving. There are certainly some items you'll need from the inside aisles, but the majority of the cart can be filled with items from the perimeter.  So always start by shopping the perimeter of the store before you dive into the inside aisles.  
 
Don't get pre-cut items.  Yes, it takes extra time, but buying pre-chopped onions or cut up fruit costs a significant amount more than buying a full cantaloupe and cutting it yourself.

​Shop at different places.  Wholesale stores such as Costco or Sams Club may be most beneficial to shop at for some healthy items, but probably not your entire grocery list.  Scope out where you can get your staple items weekly.  Are your veggies most affordable at the Farmers Market or Trader Joes?  Is it most economical to get your grains and beans in the bulk aisle at Whole Foods?  Shop around and find the best deals for what you need on a weekly basis.
 
Grow it at home.  Are there some items you frequently eat that you can grow in your backyard or on your balcony?  There are a tremendous amount of foods that you can easily grow at home, many of them you can even grow from scraps.  Free is always great, right!?  And when you grow it yourself, you know your food isn't laden with harmful chemicals. So, what can you look into growing yourself?

​Buy in season.  In season vegetables and fruits are far less expensive, more nutritious and easier to find.  Fruits are almost always on sale at conventional grocery stores – so check online to see where you can get berries half off or where you can stock up on fruit for the week.
 
Some produce costs more than others.  Making the bulk of your produce the least expensive ones can keep your grocery bill down each week.  Greens, carrots, apples, bananas and celery are among a few very inexpensive options.  Balance those out with some more expensive broccoli, Brussels sprouts or berries, and you're well on your way to eating healthy on a budget.

    I’m a holistic nutritionist and I transform health for a living.
     
    I work with adults who are overwhelmed and struggling with a desire to get healthy. They just want to keep it natural, but don’t know exactly how to do that.
     
    I give them the tools and guide them to transform their own health through nutrition and lifestyle adjustments while feeling completely supported, encouraged and motivated throughout their journey.
