Is the high cost of food getting you down? Do you think trimming your food budget means an expanding waistline? My weight loss clinic is filled with patients who want to eat healthy, but believe it’s just too expensive. Do you feel the same way?
Food prices continue to rise - everything from produce to pantry items. Plus, with such busy schedules, many of us look for “convenience” when food shopping, which adds up to a lot of extra money.
A few pointers before you even get to the store:
- Avoid shopping on an empty stomach! Go after a meal, or have a snack - to help resist temptation.
- Make a list and stick to it. That helps to avoid impulse buying.
- Shop once a week and pre-plan your meals.
- Use coupons for foods you regularly use.
Here are 10 tips to trim your waistline on a slim budget:
1. Drink tap water. No bottled water, or other low-calorie drinks. Good for your wallet and the environment. If you have concerns about your tap water, get it tested, and add a filter to the tap, or a pitcher if needed.
