Health tips: Go to the store with a list and stick to it. Do not go to the store hungry or you will overspend and purchase poor quality foods. Start to read the labels. If you cannot understand what 2-3 ingredients are, put the package back on the shelf and move on. Tell your store you want foods that are not full of chemicals, if enough speak up they will start stacking the shelves with better quality foods. Get away from pre-made foods they are empty of vital nutrition. If you are short on time, do what my family does. On Sunday we make meals for the whole week and freeze them. That way we know what our family is eating: the food is better for us and less expensive.

Intelligently spending your food dollars is a learned skill and it takes time. The closer you monitor what you are buying and how much you spend for the quantity and quality you receive, the sooner you'll see the health and wealth benefits.
