Pinch A Penny And Still Eat Healthy
>> September 16, 2008
With the rising cost of food (fresh fruit and veggies rose 20% in the past two years) it's actually becoming harder and harder for some people to eat healthy. One tip I've found is to remember that frozen is usually cheaper, keeps longer, and is just as healthy as fresh. Another one, is to clip coupons. I always try to clip the coupons in my Sunday paper. Another source for coupons is to visit the Penny Pincher Gazette. In addition to online coupons, at the Penny Pincher Gazette, you can also find online grocery circulars, (to help you get the most bang-for-your-buck out of those coupons!) recipes, and articles. Right now they are featuring the article Quick and Healthy Meals - Solutions for the Busy Cook. Families are being hit hard by the huge rise in the cost of food, but with a little preparation hopefully you can still eat healthy without breaking the bank.

Good post Angie. One thing I find that helps meals go that little bit further is to add more vegetables to your meat based dishes. For example, when I make a spaghetti bolognese instead of using lots of minced beef I thicken it up with lots of mushrooms, onions and peppers. This generally works out cheaper than using lots of meat plus it fills your meal with healthy fibre, vitamins and minerals. I also prefer the texture when the meat is mixed up with lots of different vegetables.
This tip doesn't just apply to spaghetti bolognese. It can be used on lots of dishes including enchiladas, curries and stews.
