If there was one sound that rose above all others
at the grocery checkout line last year, it was this:
Ouch! When your grocery budget is under assault, it's
easy to succumb to panic (Nine dollars a pound for
organic chicken?!) and become tempted to fill your
cart with less healthy, but ostensibly cheaper, fare.
Trouble is, downgradin the quality of your food is
never a bargain. First, your health is just too
valuable, and courting an avoidable health condition
or lowered immunity by eating poorly is just way too
expensive. Second, even in the toughest economic times,
you don;t have to scrimp on the good stuff.
.
You just have to know how to shop smarter.
.
In this, the second in our series on How Healthy People
Eat, we've assembled another team of health-conscious
experts to dish on their personal shopping habits:
.
.
* Lisa Farino, a freelance health and environmental
writer in Seattle.
.
* Rose Prince, a London-based food columnist and
author of The Savvy Shopper
http://astore.amazon.com/experilifemag-20
(HarperCollins, 2006) and The New English Kitchen
http://astore.amazon.com/experilifemag-20
(HarperCollins, 2006).
.
* Kristen Swensson, New York CityÐbased author of
the popular Cheap, Healthy, GoodÓ blog and a
columnist for www.seriouseats.com
http://www.seriouseats.com/
.
* Seth Braun, an independent health counselor in
Boulder, Colo., and author of Healthy, Fast and Cheap:
The Ultimate College Cookbook
http://astore.amazon.com/experilifemag-20
(Storey Publishing, 2006).
.
.
Here, they share their top tips for creating wholesome,
delicious meals on the cheap.
.
1. Make a strategic shopping list. Buying food on a
whim, shopping haphazardly and going shopping when
hungry all tend to drive your expenditures steeply
upward. By planning your meals before shopping, you
can save a bundle. Swensson and her boyfriend eat a
nutrient-rich, whole-foods diet for no more than
$55 a week. Swensson searches online circulars to
find deals near her Brooklyn home, combines that
information with what she knows about the food she
already has on hand, then searches online for
recipes that make the most of both. Then she creates
a detailed shopping list from which she never strays.
.
2. Know the cost of your staples. Even though Farino
lives in one of the most expensive food markets in
the country, sheÕs able to eat well by keeping track
of what things cost. ÒI know the price of Wildwood
organic tofu at four different stores to the penny,
she says. Byknowing what things cost, she can quickly
identify a deal.
.
3. When you spot a sale, strike. Occasionally,
olive oil, tamari and frozen peas will go on sale at
Farino's co-op, and she'll stock up for several weeks.
Plus, she doesn't hesitate to buy in bulk when the
opportunity arises. ÒI drink unsweetened almond milk,
so when my favorite brand went on sale, I bought a
whole case, she says. The trick here is to buy only
what you actually will use. (You may be able to get
a truckload of olive oil for a song, but it won't keep
forever.)
