Even on a tight budget you can stock your cupboards and refrigerator with fresh, nutrient-dense foods. There are a few simple tricks that will help you make nutritional, affordable selections. Buy ingredients, not prepackaged foods! Many recipes I post are five ingredients or less. (I do post longer recipes too). Brown rice and whole wheat pastas bought in bulk will not only save you money, but are heart healthy and will keep you feeling full longer.

I check out the sale papers and stock up! As you journey down the path of your lifestyle change you will get more comfortable with staples your pantry can't live without! When buying produce, buy what you eat, and eat what you buy. Splurging on fruits and vegetables that you don't like and won't eat will not make you healthy or save you money. Purchase fresh fruits and veggies in amounts that you know you can consume within several days. If you do have leftover veggies that won't sub stain a few more days, make vegetable soup and freeze it! When life gets in the way reach for that frozen soup and add lean protein or beans for a satisfying dinner in 15 minutes.
