5. Meat: ground pork, turkey and chicken
Fresh meat is usually expensive and not every family can afford to buy and eat pork or chicken every day. There is a way out though! You can eat meat more often. Next time you go to the grocery store, buy meat that is on special offer. You should also buy turkey, beef and chicken that are sold in large quantities. Ground meat is also a wonderful option – it can be used to make burgers or kept frozen. Drop by the discounted section and see if you can find meat that you can freeze for later. It is great if you are good at cooking. People who do not have good cooking skills waste more money just because they buy nuggets instead of fresh meat. Read the labels and make sure that what you buy is healthy and does not contain artificial additives.
6. Eggs, Greek yogurt and cheese
There isn’t any other dairy item as versatile as Greek yogurt. You can purchase Greek yogurt in huge quantities, since it stays fresh and tasty for a month or even longer if it is kept in the refrigerator. Avoid family packs – if not used up right away, it will probably end up in the trash bin. Use Greek yogurt to make sauces and shakes. It is also widely used to make homemade toppings. Just like most natural dairy items, Greek yogurt is high in protein and low in carbs, which makes is an excellent choice for people who are trying to lose weight. To make your yogurt taste different every day, feel free to add some honey or cinnamon. Nuts, seeds and fruit go perfectly well on Greek yogurt as well. It is quite a satisfying dairy product, so please control your portions.
