Healthy living on a budget
Categories: Sustainable Community, Diet & Weight Loss, Alternative & Green Health, Nutrition & Supplements
Fresh foods, organic produce, gym memberships -- let's face it, creating a healthy lifestyle isn't as easy as it should be, and it can get expensive too! But if you're really committed to healthifying your eating habits (and you should be), there are ways to eat well without breaking the bank. MSN has these tips:
- Check out local farmer's markets
- Buy what's in season -- and buy lots of it. You can freeze what you don't use
- Shop around
- Join a food co-op
- Buy a share in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). For around $400, you get fresh produce every week
- Use coupons
- Buy bulk
- Shop the sales
- Learn how to use any ingredient (including leftovers) in your meals
- Grow your own produce. (I love this idea -- not that I'll be trying it any time soon. Maybe next year)
