Eating Healthy doesn't have to be Expensive

Bring Lunches to school/work

• Plan out menu for week, make a grocery list and stick to that list!

• Buy produce in season

• Buy frozen vegetables and fruit

• Buy staples like nuts, seeds, nutrient dense grains, & legumes in bulk

• Eat out less – eat at home more often

• Make healthy snacks to have at the ready all week long

• Have coffee at home

• Cut down (or cut out completely!) packaged/pre-made/convenience food products as they often cost more, contain a lot of chemicals (& yucky fake stuff) that just isn't good for you anyhow

• Make BiG meals that you can turn into another meal or freeze for a later date

• Have a couple of meat free meals a week to save money

• Eat leftovers – try using for lunches, get creative!

• Make your own dressings, sauces, condiments

• Buy Meat/Fish in Bulk and then portion out and freeze (just make sure to date it so you know when it needs to be defrosted and eaten!)

• Grow your own food (even a small balcony can have a small herb and veggie garden)

• Don't buy drinks! Fruit juices, soda, and fancy energy drinks not only are expensive – they are not good for you so try sticking to water! If you love sparkling water – invest in Sodastream (or the like) It will save you heaps of money (and its a lot less waste!)

• Try buying 'home' brands when possibleBuy staples like nuts, see
