Medical Video: HOW TO SAVE FRUITS FROM GOING BAD | LIVING HEALTHY | STAYING HEALTHY
Even if you are pregnant and have to save money, you do not need to worry because the tips below will help you maintain a nutritious diet when you have financial difficulties.
Although branded and unbranded foods in stores are generally not as good as famous branded products that are expensive, they usually have the same nutrition as expensive food. Each type of packaged food product usually applies in generic forms - from bread and cereals to frozen and canned fruits and vegetables and fresh and frozen juices, from soft cheese and other dairy products to raisins, plus nuts. This is what the food industry giant might not have been told: most food quality is the same.
Bring lunch
Instead of spending 50 thousand or more a day for lunch, it would be better to make salads, dinner leftovers, or whole wheat sandwiches with chicken breast. Bring the food, along with some fruits and drinks, and you might save a lot.
Cheapest drink
Water is one of the best fluid choices for you and your fetus. Replacing soft drinks and sweet juices with water will save you a lot of money and absolutely no calories. To save on milk shopping, buy nonfat milk powder, compared to fresh milk that is faster than stale.
Buy food that is in season
Buying fruits and vegetables that are in season not only makes you and your baby healthier, but also good for the contents of your wallet. For example, watermelons and mangoes may be available in supermarkets throughout the year, but are most nutritious and inexpensive when they are in season. When the season is over for some fruits or vegetables, go to the frozen food section, where prices and nutrients stay the same throughout the year.
Shopping in large quantities
To be more economical, it is better to buy large quantities of goods at a time. So, choose whatever you can afford to start from the chicken breast (cook and freeze everything at once, and you will save a lot of money and time) to oatmeal. Buy and store discount items, if they are not easily damaged, and make sure you will be able to use them (for example oranges may be cheap, until you realize that you bought too much until they no longer fit in the refrigerator and are not eaten)
Take time to cook
It is much easier to warm a frozen dinner in a microwave than to cook your own food from scratch. However, frozen foods, salad sauces and instant hot oatmeal are more expensive than homemade ones, and are higher in calories and lower in nutrients.
