Tip of the Day

Healthy Eating on a Budget

When money is tight you may need to cut back on spending, but you can still eat right with a few thrifty shopping tricks:

Satisfy before you shop. Shopping on an empty stomach can lead to "grocery goggles" … where everything looks good and you ultimately buy too much or make unwise decisions.
Peruse the perimeter. Most foods for a health- and cost-conscious eating plan are found by shopping the supermarket's boundary. Then, with your shopping list in tow, visit just the aisles you need to balance fresh selections. (See Aisle-by-Aisle Top Picks.)
Draft a produce dream team. Choose a variety of in-season whole fresh fruits and vegetables. They'll be the most abundant, most nutritious, and least expensive.

For more tips on eating right on a budget, consult a registered dietitian in your area and check out this article and the Savvy Food Shopping section.
