To maximize your food dollars, you can buy
off brands, look for sales, use coupons, buy only what you need, and never shop hungry.
I did not add perishable or fresh food, due
to planning to donate, but ways to prevent food waste for fresh food can be to plan meals ahead of time and make what you plan, not buying more then you can use, and freeze or can foods you can’t eat before it spoils.
The 10-dollar video was silly and over the
top, but it still shows how much more food you can buy when actually buying nutrient dense foods. Buying healthy foods are cheaper because they go further then junk food. Finding a good balance is the key to saving money and eating healthy. Harmony McCorristin Brett Rosen NUTR-1020 02/19/2020
Ways other than weight to compare foods would be how much
nutrients are in the food, for example fruits and vegetables will keep you fuller longer then sweets or chips and will give you more nutrients to keep your body running smoothly
