Dieting when you are BROKE!!!

Dieting is perceived to be expensive, but there are many ways one can eat healthy without spending a fortune:

1. Free passes-If you are deciding that you need a gym for your dieting plan consider what gym might fit your needs. After visiting the gym, ask for a 2 week pass to see how it goes. Since every community has three to five gyms, you can do this again and again until you find the perfect gym or training class.

2. Buy fruit and vegetables at a fresh produce market. Not only are the produce fresh from the garden, but it is much cheaper than from a supermarket or green grocer.

3. Check the dollar store, Big Lots and other locations for low fat and low price snacks. There are plenty of great things to eat if you are snacking, so all you need to find is a low cost place to purchase.Soup is a good meal and can include a variety of vegetables.

16. When you read the price tag look for the unit price.   Just keep in mind that the sale price isn't taken into account on these tags.  The lower the price per unit the better the deal. 


17.  Mega marts, like Wal-Mart and Super Target,  can be very helpful for the time crunched individuals offering one stop shopping and low prices.  However once in the store they tantalize the unwary shopper with cute clothes for the kids, fun toys for the pets and just about anything else under the sun.  They entice consumers further by offering irresistible deals that end up filling the cart and elongating the receipt.  If you have a good deal of will power and can stick to your list you will be rewarded with a lower food bill.

18. Shop at several different stores and purchase their sale items and store brands.

19. Buy store-branded products instead of brand names. The only difference is the price, the quality is often the same. Many stores like  Wal-Mart even Target have "store brand" products.  A lot of times these products are the exact same as the name brand products.  For example at you can get store brand sour cream for $1.09 but if you were to buy name brand it would be $2.50 or more!  By switching to generic or store brand food products you can save over 10% on your grocery bill!  But keep your eyes peeled because sometimes name brands aren't cheaper in the long run.  So how do you tell?

20. Look at the bottom shelf.  Stores place the high ticket items at eye level.  Their labels have eye appeal and are easy to reach.  Get yourself some exercise by bending down and looking at the products on the lower shelves.  That's where you will find the generic, store brand products and other interesting items. Also check the highest shelves for unique or harder to find items.  Take  time to shop and you will not only save money but will also come home with some interesting edible treasures!
