Happy Friday! How to Save $$ on Food
Jun 10, 2022 3:00 pm
Good Morning
Since most of us do our grocery shopping on weekend, I thought I’d give you a heads-up today to get you ready!!
Eating higher-quality proteins and organic foods doesn’t always have to be expensive! If you know where to shop, you can buy in bulk and stock up. And since you now know that your body doesn't need as much fuel as you've been giving it, we save there too!
Check out some more great ways to save:
1. Check out your store’s weekly specials. If you shop at one of the bigger chains, check out their website for their circular. Sometimes you can find special coupons. Also, if your store has a phone app definitely use it! You can get rewards, points, and special deals!
2. Buy in bulk and freeze. Is something on sale? Buy it in bulk and FREEZE it! You can freeze fresh fruits by washing/drying them, prepping them by chopping them into bite-sized pieces, and putting them on a cookie sheet to “flash freeze.” After 30 minutes to an hour, take them out of the freezer and put them in freezer bags.
3. Buy dry goods online. Almond flour, protein powder, vitamins, and other dry goods can be found MUCH cheaper online. Comparison shop!
4. Organic frozen veggies can be a great option. Tons of studies have been done and the nutrition is comparable (if not better) than fresh … because they’re picked at the height of ripeness and immediately frozen, they retain a lot more nutrients than produce that has been sitting around.
5. Buy seasonal and support local farmers. You can often get some fantastic deals if you go to farmers markets or visit the farms themselves. It's better for the environment and better for your wallet :-) An added bonus is you are supporting a local small business
Happy Saving!
