5 Ways to Afford Whole Foods on a Budget

I talk a lot about eating good healthy whole fresh foods to stay healthy and to improve ones health.

People do mention that they think eating healthy is more expensive. But there are some basic habits that make eating healthy affordable 

Dr. Mercola writes about five ways to make your foods more affordable and make it fit a budget. I can vouch these habits work.

Whole food -- that is to say, unprocessed and unrefined food -- has the reputation of being expensive. But there are many ways to add whole food to your diet while sticking to your budget. Seattle PI suggests a few:

1. Buy seasonal: Fruits and vegetables are both cheaper and tastier when purchased in season.
2. Use the bulk bins: You won't pay for packaging, labeling and advertising.
3. Grow your own: A sunny yard or even a window box can add cheap, fresh food to your plate.
4. Use your freezer: Stock up and freeze when whole food is on sale.
5. Reduce waste: Don't let leftovers go to waste.
