I often hear "eating healthy is expensive" or "I can't afford to eat healthy" Well I am here to tell you that is a myth. I started changing my diet when I was unemployed in 2009. I figured... I am home anyway, so I might as well learn something new and do something productive with my days. Since that time I have been employed, unemployed, in between and a full time student, so I think I have come up with some ways to eat healthy on a budget, no matter how much time you have.
The first one I will share with you is
The 99 cents store.
This is a quick post so I am just going to post the very amateur pictures I took during my trip to 99c store, last week. This way you can get an idea for some of the items they sell. But Really there is soooo much more...I will be back with more tips....
