Heading to the grocery store when you're already hungry is a red flag. You'll head into the store and your eyes will go straight to everything you don't need, causing

you to buy anything and everything unhealthy.

Before you head out to the store, make a list of your necessities, healthy ones, of course. When you get to the store, only buy the items that are on

your list. After all, that's all you needed, not that bag of chips that were displayed so nicely at the entrance of the store. 

Fruit is a necessary item when you're shopping for your health. To help you stay on budget, choose the produce that is in season. When a certain fruit is out

of season, it's bound to be twice as expensive as those that are in season.

Buying a generic or store brand product will save you some big bucks over buying those name brands. You'll likely find that they are made with the same ingredients and

probably taste the same, if not better.

Buying food or other items in bulk will save you some money. Just be sure that the items you are buying will be eaten and not go to waste. 

Greens, such as lettuce and broccoli, are generally pretty dang cheap and incredibly good for you. Loading up on a leafy salad is a cheap filler upper as it'll help you

feel fuller, faster, leading you to eat less.

If you want to just go to get healthy items, then all you have to do is shop the edges of the store. If you notice, when you walk into

the grocery store, all of the produce tends to be around the edges of the store. Your fruits, veggies, and any poultry can all be found if you walk in

a square. All of the junk food are down the aisles, so just avoid those!

Hitting up a local farmer's market for some fruits and veggies is a great way to save money on those items. Plus, the items tend to be fresher and even taste better. 

Although it may seem like it's a hassle or not worth it, cutting up those handy, dandy coupons will do the trick. You'd be surprised how much you can save if you start

cutting up those weekly coupons you get in the mail.  

Cooking larger portions is a great way to do meal prep. Buying larger portions at the store will be a cheaper option and preparing meals for the week is a

sure way to stay on track with your fitness routine.
