Easy Strategies to Begin Using Right Now!

1. Buy more veggies and less meat. There is great economy and nutrition in vegetables compared to meat. The veggies you can use in multiple ways in your kitchen, like cucumbers, carrots, green beans and corn, will be your best-buys. Look for best-buy vegetables on a weekly sale in the fresh produce department or choose frozen or canned. By the way, don’t forget to keep track of what veggies are in the fridge so you can use them up before they spoil. This saves you money, too.

2. Take a less-is-more approach to using coupons. A high percentage of online and newspaper coupons are for processed foods. Typically, processing takes away from the nutritional value of foods, so using too many coupons can put products into your kitchen that are wasting your ‘good food’ dollars. Instead, opt for carefully chosen, unprocessed foods which are nutrient-rich and full of flavor. If you find coupon(s) for these, then of course use them.

3. Become a believer in healthier choices of store brand foods. Believe it or not, store brand foods can save an average shopper 20-30% on their full shopping basket of purchases while delivering top quality. The simple conclusion is that it’s really worth trying your local store brand. Be selective, however, because the best nutrition deals come with food products that use natural ingredients to boost overall nutrition.
