Eating healthy in a tough economy

October 20, 2008 | Comments (3)

The economy has taken its toll on just about everybody and everything that you do. Many people are cutting back and doing the best they can do to survive in a tough economy. I have some ideas I would like to share with you about how to get the most for your buck when it comes to nutrition. Here are some of my favorite tips:

1. Compare food prices based on number of servings provided and nutritional contribution. Also, look at the unit price of food.

2. Take inventory of the food you have at home. Buy only what you need and what you plan to eat.

3. Plan your meals in advance. Try to make a menu for each week so you know what you plan on cooking.

4. Plan for leftovers.

5. Purchase produce that is in season.

6. Use sales and coupons.

7. Never shop on an empty stomach. Make sure you go shopping after a meal of snack.

Hopefully, these will help many WalkingSpree members. If you liked this post, look for my blog next week as I will share some more of these ideas with you.
