Instagram because I love liking your photos and if you tell me you're coming

plus I just like talking to you guys and I make lots of fun exclusive content on
there you don't want to miss so make sure you head over there and get in
today's video I'm sharing with you guys my tips for staying healthy on a budget
I know a lot of you guys like think it can be really expensive or you may not
have options but I'm here to tell you about there are many ways that you can
still eat healthy while being on a budget so yeah let's get into it
the first tip I have is to plan ahead this is so important if you plan out and
you can strategically look at your budget so you have $20 or $50 for the
week you can plan out your meals sometimes salads can be like really
expensive if they're prepackaged but if you plan ahead then you can plan healthy
meals that actually cost less by like buying it in bulk or buying it and
making it yourself maíam exit for you guys is to buy
produce if that is in season right now in Ontario where I live we have cherries
cucumbers kale mushrooms also sweet potato you can Google like what's it
like in season in your area for depending on where you live in the
country and they use that stuff will be on a better price like for me right now
raspberries are like $5.99 for one little thing
so that's expenses compared to like something else that's in season so that
way this throughout the year no matter what season it is you can find
affordable produce by just buying what's in season my next tip is to do some
research versus what's good to buy organic and what's better for you to buy
organic and what's not so this is known as the Dirty Dozen and the clean fifteen
so if you can't afford to buy completely organic that way you know things that
are better to buy organic in general things with like an outer shell like an
orange or banana aren't as like important to buy organic because they
have a shell around them but something like strawberries and nectarines kale
other types of berries I know those are all the dirty dozen so
if you can afford to spend a little bit more those are the ones you want to buff
focus like on buying organic my next tip for you is to a buy frozen and frozen
can be absolutely great the stuff is still has nutritional content and it
splashed frozen when it's ripe so you're not like buying old produce it's bright
when it's frozen and then you can just cook it and I like this
also because you're not going to waste anything because it's frozen so if you
find that you buy healthy food but you don't get through it and it goes bad in
time and then you feel like you're wasting money just buy it frozen I buy
frozen fruit frozen vegetables they're so good to have on hand and they're easy
to just throw into the oven or like heat up in the microwave and then you're good
to go and you have some nice fresh produce my next tip for you guys is to
make double or triple or just make a big batch of foods when you make something
so something I like to do is I like to make the bunch of roasted sweet potatoes
for the week this way I could grow them either into salads have them as a side
as a snack so I just have healthy things on hand that I can eat and this makes it
less expensive and like going out to eat or if you're buying a snack on the go
and I love doing this is a bunch of things that you can also just do meal
prep meals that also works too but just having stuff that you can make in double
in bulk that's cheap like sweet potatoes or beans both of those are very
inexpensive and they're good to filling you up and you can have my hand my index
it for you guys is to join some rewards programs this is not sponsored by any
kind of rewards program I was talking about like at my grocery store you get
points when you spend money there and then when you accumulate points then you
can redeem that for free groceries which is crazy I'm pretty sure almost every
grocery store has it but is this crazy that you get points for shopping there
and then you get free money towards that like right now guys I've been banking
for so long I have almost $200 of free food it's amazing and then they have
things where you get extra points if you buy bananas or avocados and the way my
app works is that it gives me points on things that see the history of me buying
which is crazy because it know that buy zucchini so it gives me extra points on
zucchini so it's really fun so I would suggest looking into reward programs
at your local grocery store and my last tip for you guys is to use some discount
sites once again not sponsored by any of these sites these are just ones that I
know of and I use so there is a herb which I like because that one also ships
to Canada I'll leave the links for them down in
the description box but I like that one because it's a lot cheaper and if I buy
things at Whole Foods or health food stores in my area and then there's also
thrive market which I like that one is only in this state so but they both have
really great prices on things shipping is pretty good as well so if
you're getting like pantry items that are healthier like gluten free flours
crackers cookies or like those types of things
that can be more expensive not like a whole foods you can get them on there
for cheaper so yeah okay guys I hope you guys enjoyed let me know your tips for
staying healthy on a budget down in the comments below if you haven't don't
