Save Money and Eat Healthy
Most people few eating healthier as more costly. It's true, if you buy healthier foods, you might pay more, but you might not if you know what healthy is and you know what to look for.
For example, there are prepackaged health dinners or lean hot pockets that are healthier than tv dinners or pizza hot pockets, and they often cost more. The truth is, these aren't necessarily healthier alternatives. They may be healthier, but you could find fresher health food that you prepare yourself cheaper.
Instead of getting any kind of hot pocket or prepackaged lunch, eat leftovers from the healthy meal you made the night before, make a sandwich on whole grain bread, or make a salad. A simple salad with just a little dressing that you make yourself can easily be made cheaper than a hot pocket, or at worst for the same price.
Healthy food also fills you up faster. When you get filled up faster, you don't need to eat as much. How often have you eaten 2 cookies and had to go back for a third, fourth, fifth, etc. Now tell me how often you've eaten and apple and even had to go back for a second.
Are fresh vegetables just too costly? Grow your own! If you build a small garden and grow a small variety of vegetables, and even plant a fruit tree or some berry bushes. You could save some money and pick up a fun hobby and activity for the weekends.
You can also buy produce from a farmer's market during the right season and often get a cheaper price for better quality. Also, eating vegetables doesn't mean you have to get fresh produce. Frozen vegetables are great too and often much cheaper.
You could easily spend at least the same amount on your new healthy diet and foods than you did eating junk food. In the long run you would still save money because you would be healthier and not get sick as often.
Don't get sick and you won't have to go to the doctors or pay for medicine. Even if you have insurance, a doctor's visit often charges a co-pay which can eat away at your savings. Eat and stay healthy and reap the rewards of feeling better and saving money!
