Low Budget Groceries

“You are what you eat” is a saying as old as it is true. Your body absorbs all the vitamins, nutrients, proteins and, most of all, carbs of everything you eat. Therefore, a good balance is the ideal goal. A few easy tips to help keep your grocery list healthy without emptying your pockets would include:

• Shopping seasonally is probably the easiest thing to do to save the most money. Limit yourself to the fruits and vegetables that are in-season since stores tend to raise prices for those that are out-of-season. Try to plan out your weekly meals around what is in-season.
• Comparing labels can be a tremendous help since a lot of less expensive brands contain the exact same ingredients as the more expensive ones.
• Always stick to your shopping list. If you check for deals and make a list before going, you are sure to stick to your budget. If you start adding more and more to your cart due to sales and impulse buys, you will end up going over your budget or not getting the healthier foods that you set out to get.
