The best way to shop for healthy groceries on a budget is to carefully plan your meals ahead of time. Make sure to compare prices between stores and look for weekly specials and coupons. Buy generic brands of items when available and buy in bulk only if the item has a long shelf life. Try to buy fresh produce that is in season, as it is usually the most affordable option. Another option is to look for local farmers’ markets, as they often have fresh and affordable produce.
