Tip Sheet



Yogurt is one of the healthiest choices. At Publix you can buy 10 six-ounce cups of fat-free fruit flavored house brand yogurt for $5. Less than Yoplait and other name brands. Great for breakfast.

Shop at food markets towards closing time. Fruit, vegetables and meat are often available at nearly give-away prices when vendors don't want to take things home.

Club together with friends and neighbours to buy larger volumes of fruit and vegetables on the wholesale market. Then divide these up around the group so that they do not go to waste.

Create a vegetable garden and grow your own fruit and vegetables. Don't have a garden? Join a land share scheme like this one http://landshare.channel4.com/ or start your own.

Buy organic produce at the farmers market and cook whole grain dishes that include the fresh veggies. Lentils, amaranth and quinoa are easy, inexpensive, and healthy. You can make more than one meal's worth to freeze for later.
