"It's just too expensive." The two most common complaints we hear about healthy eating are that it's too hard...and that, along the same lines, it costs too much money. We're nipping both in the bud today with Stephanie at Food Matters, showing you exactly how to eat healthy on a budget and live well on the cheap... Eating healthy on a budget can at times seem daunting. We may have the idea that it is easy and cheap to eat on the go at fast food restaurants. It’s not. It is less expensive to invest in healthy, nutritious food. Chemical laden foods found in fast food restaurants and the highly refined food like substances that take up the entire midsection of the grocery store are poisonous to our bodies. If we eat like crap, one day we will pay the price for such decisions; in the long run, this makes eating unhealthy more expensive. We are here to help guide you to items that are both nutritious and wallet friendly. One of the best things we can do to make sure we are eating healthy on a budget is to shop in the perimeter of the grocery store. In the perimeter of the store, you will find all the produce, meats and dairy—the real food. The center isles are typically filled with all the processed crap that is void of any real nutritional value. Eating healthy on a budget means you will begin eating more home cooked meals. When we prepare our food, we know exactly what is or is not going into our food. Numbers from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Consumer Expenditure Survey shows that Americans spend about half of their food dollars away from home. Eat at home and you’ll save a bundle.
