I cannot tell you how many times I have heard that eating healthy is expensive. Usually, when people tell me this I ask them where are they buying their groceries. If you purchase groceries at major grocery chains you are probably over paying for your fresh fruits and veggies. Here in the Chicago area we have stores like Mariano's, Garden Fresh and Caputo's. They usually have a nice selections of fresh fruits and veggies that are much lower in price than major retailers. I also like to buy frozen bag of fruits and veggies when they are on sale. They are helpful to have on hand for quick meals and soups. Many times stores will have them on sale for 99 cents. They are way better for you than canned vegetables.
Buy fresh fruits and vegetables that are on sale. For example, there are plenty of times when blueberries and strawberries are on sale. Buy them and freeze the extras.
I also suggest trying some of these healthy recipes that are $3 or less per person. You can feed your family well while on a budget.
Eating healthy does not have to break the bank. You just have to be smart!
