Everyone is thinking about their health and their new goals, all those types of things and when you start eating healthy foods you realize very quickly and then it can get very very expensive.
It’s typically more expensive to buy those healthy foods that make you look better, your skin feel better and makes you feel better to help you clean stay healthy than it is versus purchasing the packaged foods or the cans of juice or even those junk foods that we all love so today.
I am actually going to be sharing my tips healthy by save money while you eating healthy and so stay on your budget I’ve been doing this myself and it saves our family a lot of money.
I want you guys to save a lot of money to share with your family since my blog is all about living the ultimate life or less and hoping that it will really help you guys out.
The first way to us to save money is by using coupons they really do exist and they aren’t as hard to find as you think they are the first way to get promotional coupons is to actually go directly through the manufacturer or through the brand like Procter and Gamble or Discountworld. all of these different places they actually have their own coupons.
You can have them email you a special coupon, you can also find a lot of these coupons on their websites on a regular basis.You can also sign up for email newsletters from these companies and they will send emails on a regular basis with coupons for their products.
Another way to find coupons is within your Sunday newspaper you open that up and find coupons for frozen and vegetables. I would also make sure you guys are checking your weekly apps or whatever purchased or you go to certain things throughout the year.
Buy one get one free promotions even on the produce items, some outlets like Whole Foods or super markets even have our there own coupon booklet you can grab as soon as you walk in a store. I would definitely look for those I believe with some goods they change the offers every month it switches and suppresses the same so you guys can grab a coupon booklet and use those at checkout. Its a really good idea to check out what coupons are in there so you guys know what coupons to pair with what sales, that way you can save even more money.
Another way to actually get the coupons is on the actual product if you keep your eyes peeled you’re going to see actual stickies or peeling coupons directly on the product that will say say 50p off this item or whatever and I’ve seen on a ton of healthy items including vegetables so keep your eyes open because sometimes you’re going to see that plenty of them don’t have stickers and a tag. Always get your children to help you if you need it when you’re shopping say hey we’re looking for stickers or little offer tags they’re hanging them on products if you see me let mommy know that will really help you out and then you can focus on the important things and your kids can kind of play like a scavenger hunt in the supermarket for those peeling coupons.
The very last way that you guys can access find coupons is in magazines if you visit any magazine subscriptions which I’ve talked about before in the past and how you can get those for free.
lot’s of those magazine subscriptions actually come with one or two inserts now so I’ve seen a lot of coupons for cleaning products and things like that but I have also seen posting coupons for products and healthy items even frozen items so keep your eyes peeled. When you’re reading those magazines, when it comes to healthy food and those items that are staples in your healthy food diet maybe it’s the quote, maybe it is still old cut out, whatever it is it’s healthy in your diet or in your family’s diet those are regular items or staple items that you have to buy on a regular basis.
Right the only way to really compare prices to be aware is to start writing down your prices, so get a little notebook or put it down in a note in your phone and actually write down what prices you are seeing for that same exact item when you go to the store. very soon you’re going to notice a base item or base price for that item then you can quickly make a spreadsheet that will show you the store the items a regular price.
I know it’s a little bit of work so if you don’t want to do this you’re not ready to do this to just yet, you don’t have to but if you could do, this will help you know what is a good price. I mean you’re always buying this if you’re always buying brown rice or you’re always buying elements you’ll know exactly when to stock up and when to buy more of that items if you’re paying full price for that item every single time you go to the store then you’re not really saving money but if you can see oh hey all those actually are fairly cheap I am going to buy two bags instead of one because it’s on sale and I have ruin my budget to do that or you could say well I’m going to buy four bags up because I might not have to buy anymore until the next sale happens. This works really really well for those dry or packaged goods obviously would work very well for like the fruits and the vegetables because they go bad, but it works really well for those package treats.
Another way that you can save money when you’re trying to eat healthy on a budget is to grow your own herbs, this might sound like a lot of work but it totally isn’t the one of these herbs you can actually grow in your house like on your windowsill in front of your kitchen window if you have one of those they are very very inexpensive to make and the cost from a buying those herbs to growing them is ridiculously different for example basil if you were to buy it for instance it’s about £3.33 per ounce for example and if you wanted to grow it it’s only 24p and Also they taste different.
Buying it versus growing it and you can even again get your children involved have them help you grow the herbs put one of them in charge of watering them every day. Make it their job to help with the tiny family garden that you have inside your house. I am NOT much use as a gardener, I know some other people love it. I hate it I hate doing it, something like that I can handle because it’s inside the house when you have those herbs you can actually freeze them you can put them in little ice cube trays to freeze and you can use them for a whole year.
So it’s not like you’re going to be wasting any herbs because you’re going in too fast for those of you who do love to garden or want to start a garden planning your own garden will save you a ton of money and it saves so much money versus the supermarket and again it gets your family and your children involved. It might be more of a life lesson than it is necessarily saving money but it can easily be a little bit of both.
Things that are easy to grow in your gardens without major problems are things like lettuce, garlic, tomatoes, bell peppers or strawberries. Obviously you want to adjust that a little bit to depending on where you live.
If something is easy and cheaper to grow that is one of the best ways to save money.
One of the easiest easiest ways to save money when you’re going to the shops especially if you don’t have a plan in place it’s buy the foods that are in season. Now you may have thought about this concept before but every single produce item is in season at one time or another.
If it’s not in season then that means that it has to be produced in a greenhouse or produced in a different part of the world and then has to be shipped and what happens the price is when all that happens the prices get jacked up.
if you’re able to plan your meals or your snacks around these foods that are in season you’re not going to drop or pay an arm and a leg for healthy foods that you guys could eat with your kids or with your families.
I hope it helps you guys out and thank you so much for reading this.
