When you can’t buy fresh, buy frozen or canned fruits and vegetables. They can be just as nutritious as fresh foods, and make cooking easier.
Even better than buying local, is growing your own food. It’s easy, only takes a little bit of land, a balcony or patio, and a few pots. Give it a try with cilantro, greens, Swiss chard, and snow peas. Tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, beans, and spices are also fun to grow!
Pre-washed or pre-cut produce can cost more. Pick a day to prep your vegetables for the week and ask your kids to help. They will learn some healthy habits and have fun helping you too.
Hunger is your worst enemy when you are trying to shop healthy. It can lead you to buy foods that you don’t need simply because they look yummy. Eat a small snack, such as an apple, carrots or celery and peanut butter before you shop.
Don’t let produce spoil before you use it! To save money, learn how to store, save, reuse, or freeze your fruits and vegetables.
