Ever come home from the grocery store and look between the receipt and your bags of groceries wondering, “I must have left a bag in the car. Did I really spend this much and only get a couple bags of food?!”

We at Living Wellness love to eat tasty and nourishing food while also not breaking the bank. That is why we are continuing our series “Eating Healthy on a Budget.” In today’s blog post, we're sharing part one of Living Wellness team member Julie Frandsen’s presentation from Bridging the Gap’s Single Mom’s Retreat which wrapped up this weekend! What a wonderful time of encouragement and blessing.

Today we are going to talk about one of my favorite topics: Food!!!  I love to cook and provide good tasting, mouth watering, nourishing meals and snacks for my family.  If am I honest…sometimes I am successful at doing this, and other times not so much.  My hope is that you will learn some practical tips of how to save money at the grocery store while also not compromising the quality of the foods that you buy.

First things first. In order to talk about healthy eating on budget, we first need to know how to eat healthy!
