A simpler grocery strategy saves money and improves health.
In this episode, I share my personal approach to grocery shopping, eating at home, and keeping food simple. This is not a strict diet plan or a list of trendy superfoods. It is a practical way of eating that saves money and supports long-term health.
I talk about why bulk foods like potatoes, onions, beans, and rice form a strong nutritional foundation. With just a few staple items, most of your nutritional needs can be met without relying on expensive or heavily marketed foods.
I also explain why shopping seasonally matters, how farmers markets can show you what is truly in season, and why local foods tend to be cheaper and require fewer chemicals. Many foods we are told to prioritize on social media are expensive, shipped long distances, and not nearly as essential as they are made out to be.
We also discuss bulk grocery stores, restaurant supply stores, and CSA boxes as practical ways to lower food costs. Root vegetables, proper storage, freezing, and basic food preservation go a long way in reducing waste and grocery bills.
This episode is about sustainability, not perfection. Eating in a way that you can maintain financially and practically is far more important than chasing an idealized version of healthy eating.
At the end, I invite you to share how you approach grocery shopping and saving money on food, and I preview a future episode on organic versus conventional produce.
