How to Eat Healthy Affordably

    During  tough economic times, we all need to find ways to cut back on the things we do in everyday life and often people do this by neglecting what is most important.....Ourselves. It is important to remember that we are what we eat therefore we must make it a priority to eat well. At YourInnerU we have come up with some ways to help you save money while still eating healthy meals:
- Refrain from buying packaged or frozen dinners; you are paying for the packaging as well as plenty of preservatives.
- Check flyers for weekly supermarket specials; you can often catch great deals on fish or chicken.
- Buy value packs of fish/chicken and wrap individually before freezing.
- When buying produce such as broccoli or asparagus, keep in tupperware containers with a little water; this will help the produce stay fresh for much longer.
- Check sale racks for produce; you can turn this into soup or vegetarian chili and won't even know the difference.
- If possible, shop at roadside produce stands; the produce is most often local and therefore less costly.
- Bake your own breads; bread machines make this very simple and there are great recipes for whole wheat bread.
- Grow your own herbs; you can find portable ones that you can set up right on your kitchen window sill.
- Grow your own garden; you need little backyard space to throw in a few bean or tomato plants.
- Invest in a good healthy eating recipe book; it is very easy to follow recipes and they are often very tasty.
- The Web is full of healthy eating recipes that are easy to find and follow; and they are free.
- Last but not least; Make healthy eating a lifestyle!
