- Opt for frozen berries over fresh.
- Buy frozen bread/freeze your bread to prevent spoil.

- What’s Worth The Extra Cost?
At the end of the day, eating healthy choices most the time Is most Important so don’t worry so much if you can’t afford the premium qualities of everything.
- Stores like Trader Joe’s, Aldi’s and Whole Sale Stores like Bj’s & Cosco’s have made higher quality foods more accessible In some respects.
- Ideally Its best to buy the highest quality of the following:
- Cage free + Free range eggs and chicken with no antibiotics (it should say this on the label). Save buying In bulk at wholesalers
- Wild Fish. Save by buying frozen.
- Grass fed beef
- Peanut and almond butter (Trader Joe’s best quality / price)
- Cheese
- Bread (Trader Joe’s best quality / price)
- Protein Powder
- Produce to buy Organic
- Apples. spinach, kale, strawberries, nectarines, grapes, cherries, peaches, pears, bell & hot peppers, celery & tomatoes
- But why? The non organic versions of these fruits tend to be sprayed with the most amount of Pesticides.
- I would recommend buying organic for any processed – packaged foods, to buy organic when you can.
