Eating Healthy On a Budget

January 11, 2010 at 8:03 am Leave a Comment  

money-saving-mondayOne of the reasons I hear all the time for not using coupons is you can’t find deals on healthy foods. It’s just another coupon myth—my family eats very well, and we do it on a tight budget. I pay attention to sales, stockup when I find a deal and make seasonal choices to keep our costs down.

Buying fruits and vegetables in season is the best way to keep your produce expenses under budget. While my girls really enjoy strawberries and grapes all summer, I’m not about to spend $4 per pound in colder months. Right now, we have clementines and bananas. We look forward to the return of our favorite summer fruit later in the year! This year, I am planning to store some to last throughout the year. This summer my mom and I prepped & froze 16 dozen ears of corn. I love having “fresh” corn on hand all winter. I’m definitely tackling that project again this summer, along with canning green beans and tomatoes. Are you living off a summer can or freezer stash? How else do you feed your family healthy foods without going broke?
