Christa Orecchio (who I interviewed a while back) gives some great advice on eating healthy on a budget. Check out this quick 5 minute video:
My favorite suggestions are:
- Make your own sauce (amazingly, I never do this - but should start!
- Prepare your produce when you get back from the grocery store (wash, and bag if necessary). You’ll be more likely to eat it since the preparation work is done and you’ve reinforced the idea that it’s waiting for you tastily in the fridge.
PS - If you’re looking for something to do in the Boulder / Denver area on Thursday night, check out Ignite Boulder. A fun night of presentations from people in the community - also drinks and two local bands. The reason I mention it - Garret Smith and John English are presenting their topic: “World War Corn”. $5 gets you a ticket to the show at the Boulder Theater.

Preparing your produce is a great idea. I did this myself on my last shopping trip, chopping up, separating and freezing what I plan to use (I go grocery shopping infrequently) and putting each thing in its own “single-meal” amount in baggies. Not the most environment-friendly with all the plastic, but far easier to justify making something myself rather than ordering delivery, since I work long hours.
Just reuse those baggies!
