We often hear these complaints when talking to people about shopping, healthy eating, and expense. The general perception is that you can either eat cheap or eat healthy, but you can?t have both. What if I tell you that there was a way to have both? Here is our list of 15 budget-friendly and healthy grocery tips. Why 15 and not 10? Well, we had too many good options that we didn?t want to cut anything. Take a look: Healthy grocery tips 1. Never shop when you are hungry. It is an old adage but true. You are more likely to buy things you don?t really need if your stomach is rumbling. Shop with your head, not your stomach! Take your time. If you are serious about healthy shopping on a budget, you will need to spend time looking at your options and reading labels, especially for the first few months. Once you gain an instinct, it will be easier and quicker to shop for cheap healthy food. But, don?t rush it if you want to make the best decisions. Do your research. Read up on the latest studies and health news. It is easy with the internet. Don?t assume that something with ?natural? or ?organic? on the label is the healthiest. These are often tricks to pull you in; they also tend to be the most expensive. Look up reviews on the product. Healthy grocery shopping is often a matter of what you are NOT buying as much as what you are buying. For every item you place in your cart, ask yourself ?Is this healthy?? and ?Can I get a similar product cheaper?? If the answers aren?t good, put it back on the shelf. Permit yourself some treats. These will cut down on the likelihood of you completely regressing to your old habits. Buy yourself some treats, but don?t go overboard! Watch for sales. When they show up, buy in bulk to save in the long run. Buy in-season. Products grown locally in a season will be cheaper and probably tastier. Buy generic. While some brands are superior to others, it isn?t always the case. Don?t get suckered into paying for labels. Avoid junk food aisles. If you don?t see it, you are less likely to buy it. Remove temptation. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Need more advice on how to have a diet plan on a budget?
