made the right decision can put an end to the most motivated attitudes, so a major 
focus of a new dieter should the ease and simplicity of the diet. Fortunately, the next 
few paragraphs will be exploring some tips on how you can stick to a budget. 

Buy in Bulk

You have probably bought in bulk before, but it often feels like you are spending more 
than necessary. However, while there is a larger investment up front, you typically save 
quite a bit of money in the long run. Buying your meat in bulk and freezing it is a great 
way to save money, as well as buying your pantry staples that will last a long time.

Eat Whole Foods

With so many advancements in the science of nutrition, it can be easy to have a 
tendency to fall back on newer processed versions of foods that appear on stores 
shelves as extracted or melded versions of themselves. The best way to make sure that 
you’re getting the highest end fruits and vegetables would be to buy them in their whole 
form. This way you know exactly what you’re getting, and you’ll be satisfied in a more 
complete way after you’ve finished your meals. Another money saving strategy would 
be to buy the fruits and vegetables while they are in season at a surplus. 

Eat More Vegetarian Meals

One of the biggest expenses that you can encounter when you’re buying different types 
of meal ingredients for the week would be the addition of animal-based foods. Foods 
like cheese and meat are generally always more expensive than fresh produce like 
tomatoes, and potatoes. 
Meals based around beans and rice are both inexpensive, and nutritious enough to 
keep you full and strong. Beans are an excellent source of protein, and they will usually 
digest fairly easily.  

Freeze It

Take some time to learn about what you can freeze and what you can’t freeze. If you’ve 
chosen to buy bulk, then this process of splitting up the groceries afterwards is probably 
something that you've come to expect. Freeze as much as you can, and be sure to 
remember to eat it before it starts to rot.
