EATING HEALTHY ON A BUDGET
Is it possible to eat healthy while being on a budget? Is cost a factor that is stopping you from embracing nutritious meals?
Often, there is a misconception that a healthy diet comes at a (high) price and may cause people to opt for packaged and processed foods instead.
Today, the Eat Smart Campaign gives you simple tips to ensure you can eat more for less!
Plan your Meals
Plan your meals one week in advance. While it may take a bit of your time, eventually it helps you save money. Prepare a list of items that you will need from the grocery store and stick to the list. Only buy what you will eat.
Cook at Home
Dining out and takeaway is an expensive habit, and unhealthy too. A family of 4 can be fed at the same price as dinner for 2 at a restaurant. Get proactive and cook at home. You can cook over the weekend and freeze it or cook small portions every day. Nonetheless, ensure there is zero wastage.
