Life-Steps to

Wellness

It may seem difficult to make
healthy food choices on a
limited budget. However,
when you consider the longterm cost of managing poor
health, it may be smarter to
pay more at the grocery store
now than at the doctor’s
office later. Even those of
us who pinch our pennies
can take small steps toward
sound nutritional choices.
Checking sales and clipping
coupons are just a few ways

organization can stretch your
budget and broaden your
culinary repertoire. These
tips from thekitchn.com give
some great tips that are
realistic and may save you
time and money.
