5 Tips for How to Eat Healthy on a Budget:
1. Buy in bulk when you can.
If you see that your favorite organic cereal is on sale, buy several boxes. As long as the product has a shelf life of a few months, there is no reason not to stock up. This also goes for your favorite soups, healthy snacks such as baked chips or pretzels, and even low fat meats and cheeses which you can always freeze if need be.
2. Email your favorite companies.
Send a quick email to your favorite health food companies and see what promotional coupons and offers they may be able to send you. Eden Foods at www.edenfoods.com for example will send you a coupon booklet good on many of their healthy products just for requesting it.

3. Freeze or dry your produce.
Did you find a great sale on strawberries? Stock up! You can always freeze or dry fruit and vegetable items in order for them to last you longer. Take advantage of a sale price by freezing and drying and get more fresh bang for your buck.
4. Make your own healthy snacks.
Slice potatoes thin, drizzle with olive oil, and bake to make your own healthy potato chips. Or, dehydrate banana chips for your own sweet fruit snacks. When you make your own healthy snacks, you save money and eat better.
5. Stack coupons.
Visit Target.com where you can print coupons for chicken breasts, produce, baked snacks and more. Then, stack your Target coupons with manufacturers coupons for even more savings. This is so easy to do and a great way to enjoy healthy food for less. The new Cartwheel Program from Target also has great coupons and savings for Produce, Milk, Eggs and more!
