A lot of people would like to eat healthier but stay on a budget, people have a hard time eating things rather than fast food because in most cases it does end up being cheaper than most of the healthier food options. Here are some ways that you can save money but eat better.
1.) Meal prep, many fit crazed and healthy eaters prep their meals a week in advance so they would never get the urge to go a fast food place and use the excuse "I didn't have time to make a lunch" because all they have to do is grab it out of the fridge and heat it up and they're set.
2.)Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, I know that may be harder for some people but there are so many ways a person can cook vegetables and fruits. Also, you can prepare a vegetable with almost every meal. Having at least one source of fruit or veggie in every meal makes a big difference.
3.)Know your grocery stores and stay away from high sugar and high carb items. When shopping stay in the fresh produce items and the bulk areas which are both great for meal prepping and saving money because you don't have to buy as much.
4.) Use your leftover, using leftovers will help the urge to go out and get food somewhere else just in case you don't feel like cooking. You can also use your leftovers to make it into something else and create a whole new meal. If most people don't usually like to eat leftovers just like me creating a new meal is the best way to go, you can create sandwiches, soups, pasta etc.
Great post! honestly couldn't agree anymore i wrote a lot the the same reason as you did i just feel like it takes a lot more effort to meal prep and eat cleaner because of all temptations that surrounds us.
