All you need to do, saving a little, invest with a proper plan and research before buying anything.
Here’s a guide, you can follow to go on a healthy diet on a super friendly budget.
Plan your meals
Planning is the most essential case in everything . plan your meal before starting the diet. Mark a day in week , on that day make a list of the things you may need.
Also, check the fridge and cans if there’s any pre-stored foods present.
Then you won’t have to buy the same thing again and again.
Another important thing, buy products in low quantities, so that it
won’t get wasted. Some products don’t last long, always check the last date before buying anything.
Stick to the list
Once you make the list of the products, don’t add on or subtract anything again and again. Just stick to it.
Don’t explore the whole store, most of the processed food they put in the front line because those are eye-catching.
Just go to the shop and get yours. In the digital era, you will find everything on your phone. Try installing some apps which help you to note the list, in this way you won’t forget the listed items.
Cook at home
When it comes to living a healthy lifestyle and healthy food, there is nothing like freshly
homemade food.

Cook larger portion
Another trick you can follow, cook it a lot, store it for some more hours or for the next day. This will not only save your time and energy but also the effort and fuel expense. Indeed a useful way to save money.

Hunger can often drive us crazy, this psychology you need to understand, when you feel hungry, you want to buy the whole store and nevertheless to say, you end up buying processed food or fast foods. This is breaking your diet and wasting the money which you could have saved easily.
Rather if you feel hungry they buy some fruits or yogurt. This will cost you less and it’s value adding.
Buy whole food
Always try to buy whole grains. The more you will spend your money on processed food the more the budget of groceries will increase.
Suppose for example, if you are buying canned beans, it will cost you more than whole refried beans.
You must try to buy whole foods like rice, grains, and oats.

Go for generic brands
Generic brands are always cheaper than national brands. But it contains the same amount of food.
You must check the ingredient before buying to get 100% sure.
Avoid buying fast food

these will
definitely save you.
Wait for sale
Sales are the best time to buy the things you need. You should always wait for the sale. Meanwhile you can buy necessities in small amounts and when you see a sale , just stock up your cart.
Cheap meat
Do not buy cheap, frozen packaged meat, rather go for fresh farm meat. It will save your money and you will get the fresh meat possible.
Same goes for fish as well.
Replace meat
As new studies have proven us, after a certain age , we should not consume red meat at all. So, why not replace meat with some other protein. There are different kinds of vegan meat available in the market
and online as well. Otherwise go for dairy and soy protein.
Replacing meat can turn into a blessing for your health and pocket.
Shop for produced food
Always go for seasonable food. Seasonal fruits and veggies cost less . plus this will be more natural. Natural food doesn’t contain extra transport
charges. Naturally it will cost less.
Bulk buying
Buying in bulk can save your money a little. Like grains, oats, rice , nuts and some dried fruits. You can bulk buy them and store it for future use.
Gardening
To save a lot of money, you can grow your own veggies and fruits. For that you can have a community garden as well.
Home grown foods always taste better than others.
Seeds are very cheap to buy. You can buy a lot of them at a very low cost.
Pack tiffin
It is hard to maintain a diet for working people. We often forget to carry tiffin with us when we go to work.
It should not be done. Carrying our lunch will not only keep us full at the right time but also prevent us from buying cheap foods. In a way it will save our money, which we can invest on buying some healthy food.
Rather than above mentioned points you can always use coupons, look for cheap online markets and less expensive food.
