eating on a budget

eating healthy food is very important but expensive. sometimes food is the last thing you want to spend your money when you have a lot to pay for. as the universities students, we never think about the budget we just spend on junk food. but planning and going according to the budget will help a lot. here are some tips on eating healthy on the budget.

1)buy in bulk:
buying food in bulk is less expensive and if you shop wisely lasts for a longer time. when you buy food in bulk there are a lot of things that can be stored and used for a very long time. people can buy rice, grains, and oats in bulk in that way they don't have to think about what are they going to get. people will not go too fast food a lot as they have food in the home. in that way people can save all of the money, they spend on fast food. also buying in bulk will make you do your grocery shopping just once or twice a month in that way you won't be spending extra money on things that you pick up out of the shopping list.
2) Prepare large portions and use leftovers.
preparing larger portions of food will help save money and time. also, people can reuse the leftovers in different recipes. preparing larger potions will help with two or three meals when you cook a lot of food you can eat it two or three times as the whole meal. for example, you can boil the chicken rice or meat and then plan it different vegetables or grains each day. in that way you will get the homemade food in less time and it will still be healthy.
3)ask about the discounts or coupons.
some store has great deals on the food too and if you ask them you get really healthy food at fewer prices. some places also have the students discounts and if you aks it will be 10 to 15 % off which is good. there is a lot of grocery store that sent coupons and deals in the mailbox always store those coupons and never throw them away. using them will cost you less money. even before going to the grocery store look online for the coupons and offers. compare prices and go to the one with the best prices.
4)Freeze:
if you have food left don't throw always to reuse. fruits and vegetables are also healthy when they are frozen. also freezing the leftover prevents you from wasting food. when you are hungry you can open your freezer and get your food rather than going to fast food or wasting money on junk food.
