First you should take some time to list the things that you and your family regularly eat. Next evaluate the health benefits of the food on that list as well as the cost. Here are some quick guidelines:

1. Clean out your pantry. Buying in bulk is a great way to save money but you have to make sure that the food you buy is consumed long before its “best before” date.

2. Buy the fruits and vegetables that are in season.

3. Depending on where you live, you can even grow some of your own herbs and vegetables.

4. Don’t go overboard in your effort to save money.

5. Shop at your local food co-op or farmers market if there is one near you. The price and quality of food are usually better than the big stores. Don’t buy the seaweed wrappers at the grocery store – (in the gourmet or health food section) they are expensive. Buy at the Asian / international grocery – better selection and cheaper.

6. Learn to cook using different types of seasoning and oils, bake instead of frying and eat out less.

Your changes will not come over night, but gradually. Finally, because your taste has changed, you now desire smaller portions of food and you are preparing more of your food you can now afford to eat healthy on a budget.
