Eating Healthy on a Budget
The cost of groceries is rising, making it more difficult to pick the food that we think is healthy. Healthy food can be quite affordable. Focus on incorporating more frozen fruits and veggies and dried bulk legumes and grains into your diet. These can come with a lower initial price tag as well as a longer shelf life, resulting in less food spoilage. Incorporate meat and fish by looking for less expensive cuts. Make stock from the bones of the chicken you had last night, or use stew meat, veggies, and spices to flavour a large batch of soup.
