How To Save Money at Supermarket

I know a lot of clients and friends who tell me that it is too expensive to eat healthy. Well here are some tips to help you save money and allow yourself to buy those healthy foods!

1. I know that fresh fruits and vegetables are better than frozen, but they all have the same benefits. Buying frozen will enable them to last longer and you will save $$ by not having to throw out rotted or unused fruits and veggies.

2. If you do buy fresh fruit or veggies, look for the 2 for 1 sale. We have them all the time here in Colorado. That is when you stock up and you can always freeze them yourself to keep them longer as well.

3. Buy your protein/meats in bulk at a Costco or Sam’s Club. We buy 3 bags of chicken breasts at a time and they last for a couple months. Compare that to buying just 3-4 fresh chicken breasts that will last you a week and the savings are HUGE! I also buy big bags of berries in bulk to use in shakes, or to melt and use in snacks or on my protein pancakes.

4. Plan your meals for 2 weeks at a time and THEN go shopping. This will save you from endlessly walking through each isle picking up things you ‘think’ you might need. And you will only be making a trip to the store 2x a month as compared to daily or weekly.
So there you have some tips to get you started on saving on your grocery bill.

Have any tips you use, make sure to comment and leave them for us!

Flatten Your Belly With This 1 Tip

Good news and Bad news from my partners over at Prograde. There isn't much time, so read this right away.

From the Desk of Jayson Hunter, Prograde Nutrition:

Sure, this tip is simple, but it's super powerful. And while it may not seem it at first, it really will save you gobs and gobs of time.

Something I've always shared with my coaching clients is to spend one to two hours per week prepping your food.

On Sundays and Wednesdays you can easily set some time aside to cut up veggies and put them in baggies so you have them all ready for meals and snacks.

And when possible, you can do this with your lean meats (proteins) as well.

It's pretty obvious how that is going to help you keep from reaching for cookies or chips during the week. And it's pretty obvious how it's going to help you stick to a healthy meal plan all week long.

Now, what's also obvious is how my Done-For-You 90 Day Meal Plan is going to make your life easier.

No more thinking. No more guesswork. No more wondering what to eat.

I literally lay it all out for you. And I'm giving it to you for FREE when you become a Prograde VIP today.

Yes, we are closing the doors TODAY to the brand new Prograde VIP membership because of the overwhelming response we've had. We want to be sure we can manage the program effectively and deliver an awesome experience to them.

Hey, not only will you be getting my Done-For-You 90 Day Meal Plans, but you'll also receive 5% off ALL your Prograde purchases for an entire year and a whole lot more!
