Healthy Eating on a Budget?? Tips for you!

Published: Tue, 03/03/20

Is it even possible?

This may be one of the questions I'm asked the most in regard to healthy eating: How do you afford it???

Admittedly, our family's grocery budget is high, but I don't blame that on the fact that we eat healthy. I "blame" it on the fact that we are a big family full of big eaters. I actually believe our grocery budget would be the same or MORE if we didn't eat as healthy as we do. I've done research and math to back up my claims, which leads me to a couple of healthy eating grocery budget tips:

Tip #1: Compare the cost per ounce of processed food to the cost per ounce of healthy food. I think you'll be amazed at and encouraged by what you discover!!!

Tip #2: Check out how I fed my family of 6 (ha, little did I know then that we'd become a family of 8 - 9 if you count our foster son!!)... Anyway, check out how I fed my entire family a full, healthy, delicious meal for a total of $5.61!!!

Tip #3: Read this interesting insight shared by a brand new bride: "We cut back on our grocery spending by buying fruits and vegetables because they're cheap!" Ha, how about that?

More where that came from! --->

We're almost ready for the big reveal!!

As I mentioned in yesterday's email about picky eaters - we've got a great big project in the works and we're almost ready to launch!

It's an online class called Healthy Eating Jumpstart, and it includes an entire lesson dedicated to sharing how to easily fit healthy food into your budget.

{Pssst!! Club Members get this class at no extra cost along with everything else in their membership!}

Just a few more days!

We're putting the finishing touches on the Healthy Eating Jumpstart Class and will make it available to you very soon! Want to peek at the Lesson Contents? Here's page one of the Lesson Book:

Since we're talking about saving money on real food groceries today, it's worth a mention that among the 32+ eBooks included in our Heavenly Homemakers Membership Site, these are two that are devoted to sharing oodles of healthy eating money saving information:

So it's more than worth becoming a member - the cost is extremely low for everything you get! (Read the details and join here!)

Of course, we'll offer our brand new Healthy Eating Jumpstart class separately, but we think it only makes sense that you save money by joining our membership site to access it along with all the other $1000+ worth of goodies there!

One more Grocery Budget Tip:

Tip #4: Buy a whole chicken. Bake it like this. (SO GOOD!) Save the bones to make broth like this or like this. Use the broth to make nourishing soup. Use leftover chicken to make something like this. Now you've made at least three meals from one chicken. You're awesome!

Saving money, eating like kings (and queen),
