The diet industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, but that doesn't mean you need to follow the crowds and spend money on dieting advice and products you don't mean. After all, if you're eating less, you should be saving money, right? Here are some tips from eDiets on how to save money while dieting:
- Eat in, not out. It saves money and you can keep track of what goes in to your food
- Bring your healthy lunch to work
- Buy bulk, as long as it is a non-perishable item
- But be sure to compare the unit pricing. Sometimes the larger size isn't a better deal.
- Cook extra and freeze what's leftover for a convenient meal
- Make your own pre-packaged snacks, and make them healthy ones like nuts or raisins
- Substitute ingredients. If you don't have one, don't go out and buy it -- use something else
- Buy the cheaper cut of meat and throw it in the slow cooker to make it tender
