A common misconception that many people have when they think about healthy eating is that it will cost a lot of money. That is false and there are many ways you can eat healthier without spending too much. First, you can actually save money by drinking water instead of things like soda and juice. Many Americans also throw out a ton of food on a yearly basis. Only buy what you know you are going to consume. Finally, if you can’t buy organic just stick to healthy fruits and vegetables as they’re better and cheaper than fried foods and snacks.

Key Takeaways:

• Buying only fruit in its proper season will save you money in the long run.
• Scoping out farmers markets for your produce is more cost-effective and supports local commerce.
• Getting all organic is best, but the most important fruits to buy organic are the “dirty dozen” fruits.
