Research Notes on How to Eat Healthy on a Budget
Eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive. Stick with the basics and prepare the food yourself and you can save money and live a healthy life. Nutritious food appears to cost more, but Americans could save more than $200 billion a year in medical costs, lost productivity, and expenses caused by death just by eating healthy, according to the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).1
Fast Facts:
- Plan menus ahead of time and look for coupons and sales before you shop.
- Buy fruits and vegetables when they are in season.
- Buy meat in bulk to be divided and frozen for later use.
- Don't waste money by throwing food away, be creative with leftovers.
- Shop the perimeter of the grocery store, since the more expensive, less healthy food is placed in the middle of the store.
