Advice to someone to eat healthier on a budget.

Advice to someone to eat healthier on a budget.

I think for someone to be able to eat healthier and being on a budget they would have to buy the right set of foods that there pocket can handle. In other words they would have to spend very wisely. Most people tend to spend money on the things that aren’t that healthy because either they figure it’s cheaper or it’s saving more money for them or maybe they just don’t really think about eating healthier. With the way prices are on food items that are much healthier it’s very expensive to buy, but if you come to some kind of wise thinking of how you’re going to spend your money then you should have no problem going on the healthier side of things.
Eating healthier is a better choice so why not start now. Everyone needs money but being healthy is a better choice in life. If it means spending then with all means you’re better off spending to eat healthy. Money is tight with everyone at some point but you just have to know how to spend wisely and what to buy without buying things that you don’t need. Most supermarkets would have the right items you need at a certain price but you can afford it if you set aside what you really need or want on a grocery list.

Sometimes making a list of things you need before making a food shopping trip can help. It’s less confusing when you enter the store to get your goods. I think the Grocery list helps especially if you cross out the things on the list that you know you definitely don’t need. If there’s kids involve like suppose you’re a parent then sometimes it’s better to cut down on some usually items that you would normally buy in order to buy the healthier item. You would be getting your money’s worth while eating healthy. You can also cut down on buying toys and things like that for the kids so you can spend better on healthier foods for the family.

The way the food industry is today it’s so non- healthy in the way they produce their food. If people really realize what they’re eating soon everyone will be turning towards eating healthier. Money doesn’t grow on tree but if you take the right steps on spending wise like cutting down on certain things that you buy then eating healthier wouldn’t cause money conflict. If you have a family to take care of money can also be an issue like buying clothes for the kids and taking care of other needs. Money would come in handy if you come to some kind of agreement on spending better.

All it takes in order to eat healthier on a budget is cutting down on certain things that you would buy on a daily basic so that you can buy things that are actually good for you. You can make sacrifices with your money just by spending less but buying the right set of foods in order to be healthy. Eating healthy comes with a price but it’s better than spending less and having to be non healthy.

  1. Good job Vicky! Since I have to offer advice to make your writing better, I would have to say work on punctuation. For instance, when you say "Eating healthier is a better choice so why not start now", there should be a question mark at the end. Also, the first four to five sentences in your first paragraph could use some commas. Other than that, I throughly enjoyed your writing.
