“Low Budget Grocery List – Healthy Diet Plan Groceries” – Monica May

 

I think you’ll agree with me when I say:

Trying to eat healthy can be a real challenge to eat healthy.

And to be honest, eating healthy is not the cheapest option either.

It always seems that it’s cheaper to buy a slice of pizza, than to take the time and make your own healthy meal.

Well, it may not be cheaper, but it sure is easier.

Regarding that, many of you have asked me to make a healthy grocery list, to help you shop healthy foods for your diet.

And today I’m doing exactly that.

As promised, I packed a healthy grocery list for you, with ingredients you can get to make sure you load your fridge with healthy food.

Let’s get started right away!

Psst… check out my meal plan, with shopping lists and recipes included!

Tips:

  • You can replace the fruits and veggies depending on the season.
    Whatever is in season, will be both more budget friendly and more nutritious.
  • You can also replace some of them with foods that are on sale.
    If red lentils is on sale, I’ll grab that instead of going for the black lentils.
    Or if spinach is cheaper than baby spinach, I’ll go just the regular spinach.
  • Don’t shop in the closest market, but in the cheapest.
    Always go with a plan before going grocery shopping, and keep in mind that you may have to go in several different places.
  • Have in mind that frozen food can be a cheaper option.
    Not necessarily, but in general frozen food is cheaper.
  • Don’t buy dressings – make them yourself.
    In my meal plan you can find so many healthy recipes for dips and dressings.
  • Have in mind that you’re going to cook, so don’t forget the spices – they really make the food.
  • You can swap the foods if you have any favorite ones.
    For example, if you don’t like kale, don’t buy it. Get lettuce instead.
    Always get the food you like, instead of buying something you don’t really enjoy eating.
  • Make sure to cook recipes based around your products.
  • Make sure to prep your veggies the right way.
    It’s really easy to buy the veggies, but if you don’t store them right, they’ll go bad pretty fast.
    Check out my guide on how to prep your veggies.
