Welcome back broke girls! Today we are going to discuss a little bit about how to eat healthy, even though you might be a little broke.
Why does healthy food have to be expensive? Is it really expensive or am I just doing it wrong? Let’s answer some of those questions.
First of all, yes, eating healthy can add up on your bank statement quickly. However, just like anything else, it is all about prioritizing and knowing how to shop. Many people find that healthy food breaks the bank because, as a young, single person, cooking for one using fresh ingredients is not always realistic because the food will go bad before you can eat it. How frustrating!
Never fear, broke girls, for there are ways to afford that new outfit and some yummy meals without living off of ramen and marshmallows!
Do’s and Don’t’s of Healthy Eating at Home
–DO aim to meal prep. By separating your meals out, not only are you portioning for yourself to avoid accidental overeating, but you are also helping future you out by making grabbing a meal super convenient!
–DON’T get too fancy with it. Finding some healthy, yummy recipes that you love with not too many ingredients is key in saving money and not letting excess food go bad!
–DO find someone to cook with! Your roommate, family member, friend, neighbor, or classmate doesn’t want to have to cook/shop alone either! Getting together with someone reduces the cost and makes it much more fun
–DON’T ignore the food you do have! Remember when mom used to tell you that you had food at home? She was right! Skip the drive through and eat the food you’ve got!
