This is going to be my blog where I tie some weight loss content along with personal finance. I am very excited to get into some personal finance/investing content since we all know having money is kinda cool. So, a major part of having money in general is well saving the money that you currently have. And what is even better than having money? I would say having money and being healthy too. Therefore, we can live long and enjoy our money.
You may be asking yourself, what is a good way to eat healthy and save money while at it. Well I’m glad you found this post because I want to provide some helpful tips to do so.
- Bulk Retail Stores. Yep. I am talking about you Costco and Sam’s Club. The savings are too good at these places when you buy in large quantities which is the key here. My grandparents used to buy their groceries daily and the whole time I was thinking jeez there has to be a more efficient way to both save your time and save some money. And that is bulking season. For groceries at least. These type of groceries stores allow you to pay cheaper per x amount than buying smaller individual boxes/packages since you are buying more at once aka buying bulk. Anything healthy oriented will be a heck a lot cheaper (average price per individual product) when buying a large quantity compared to an individual product. This is where I love to buy my oats, chicken, frozen vegetables, you name it.
- Cheap Substitutes. The alternative can be the right move especially for cost savings. Sometimes if you are looking for a source of vitamins or any form of healthy nutrition, you may not need to look further than the cheap alternative. An example of substituting I always do is my proteins with chicken and replacing them with eggs. A lot cheaper, still fills you up, and is healthy and a good source of protein. Little substitutes like these add up and you should definitely start coming up with ways to get the nutrition with an alternative.
- Meal Prepping. When you meal prep, you have the opportunity to utilize your shopping spree at once, plan a healthy meal, and save time from cooking every day. Meal prepping also forces you to consume that food since you already have it ready to go, and therefore it wouldn’t make sense to go out to eat or buy something else. Plus, you get to control what you are eating for the extended time which helps assist your diet.
- Buy a Blender. So full disclosure, I do not own a blender. However, I know many people that do and swear buy it. The perks of having a blender are you can make any smoothie/drink you want that can contain any amount nutrients you add to it. It allows for you to utilize whatever cheap ingredients you have and make a contraption delicious (or try to at least). Cheap ingredient + Cheap Ingredient + Cheap Ingredient = Somewhat not cheap tasting ingredient
