Eating Healthy on a Budget

Making delicious, healthy food that your whole family can enjoy doesn’t have to be stressful, or costly. With just a few simple adjustments to your shopping approach, you will see the difference in your pocketbook.

Buy Fresh

Buying fresh food to prepare at home can be more economical than purchasing processed, pre-prepared foods. And, processed foods are typically lower in nutritional value and contain more additives than meals you make at home with fresh vegetables, low-fat protein and other quality ingredients.

Shopping for fresh ingredients and planning ahead is also an opportunity to get creative with new recipes.

Think in Servings

Many products come in cost-efficient quantities that sync up perfectly with your serving needs. For example, JENNIE-O TURKEY STORE® Fresh Ground Turkey comes in a 1.25 lb package, which is enough for five servings for around $5. This is a cost-efficient way to have a versatile and tasty protein on hand that can be used in a variety of dishes—for breakfast, lunch and dinner—as part of a healthy lifestyle.
