Healthy Eating on Today's Limited Budget

Today is Sunday. For a lot of people, this is the time when you sit down and plan out your groceries and/or meals for the week. With the economy like it is and the prices of foods increasing constantly, this planning can be quite stressful and a focus on eating healthy goes away because of the common thought that eating healthy means spending more money.

Luckily, there are multiple resources available to us that will help us manage our money AND allow us to eat healthy, no matter how many people are in the household. I want to provide the links to two of these sources:

The Iowa State University Extension:
