Eating Healthy Helps You Save Money

Buying only groceries (versus take-out) monthly will save you a lot of money. Especially if your normal diet depends on pizza delivery and half-baked subs from your favorite take-out spot.

Rather than ordering in three nights a week, use that $50 to buy fresh produce at the supermarket. Not only are veggies more filling, but you get more for your buck than that veggie pizza with extra cheese and carbohydrate-filled crust.

Tasty (Store-bought) Salad Recipe:

2 cups spinach leaves
1 baby tomato, diced
2 tbsp lite Italian dressing
a pinch of sea salt or salt substitute

Your waistline and your wallet will thank you.

I love your blogs they are so useful and yes, eating healthy can save alot of money. I stay on campus and since I started my new diet I saved $30 per month when I stopped ordering pizza, going to fast food restaurants and eating out, I spend $20 on fruit cups, yogurt, and that lasts me for the whole month.
