Eating Healthy On A Budget During Pregnancy
Eating healthy during pregnancy can be tough, the sad fact is healthful foods such as fruits and vegetables
are probably more expensive than potato chips and candy bars. But you do not have to eat lousy in these
lean times. Here are our best tips for eating healthy during pregnancy on a budget.
I Will Add New Tips Every Few Days!
- Plan ahead – Start your menu at the beginning of the week and get the groceries you need in only 1 or 2 trips to the store, this will save gas, and impulse buying. Look for coupons, flyers, and check the internet for sales from your supermarket, and plan your menu with those.
- Buy In Season – When you buy out of season your paying for the shipping from somewhere warm to get to your grocery store.
- Eat Beans – They are inexpensive, and a terrific source of protein and fiber. Add them to soups, chili, and salads dishes to increase the bulk. The easiest to use are canned but for the best economy buy dried beans.
- Eat Tofu – This is a low cost packed with nutrients substitute for meat and cheese. Sautee tofu with vegetables, add to salads, serve over brown rice. If tofu is not to your liking try tempeh, something like tofu but with a meatier texture.
- Buy Frozen Produce – Frozen vegetables and fruits are mostly flash frozen after their picked, and can be more nutritious than the fresh items that have sat on the shelves. With frozen produce you do not have to worry about it spoiling before it is eaten.
- Pick Store Brands – They are also called private label. They are as good in quality as name brands and can save you money.
- Bulk It Up – Buy at warehouse store large packages of frozen vegetables and meats. then repackage and freeze what you don not eat. At the supermarket buy the bulk packages of meat and chicken when they are on sale and freeze.
