So this sounds like a great idea, right? Many people always say they want to eat healthier but healthy groceries are too expensive. At first glance that may seem so, with organic products usually costing more than regular ones. However, incorporating healthy groceries into your basket should not break the bank; luckily there are many options out there to help save and move in a healthier direction.

Buying certain foods in bulk will help save you money while helping you add healthier options that are not nearly as processed as their packaged counterparts. We live in an industrial society and sadly it is difficult to eat 100% all-natural, but that doesn't mean we can't add some healthy natural options. I personally like buying grains in bulk because it saves me a lot of money and these types of food are so versatile that I can use them for a variety of recipes.

Buying grains like quinoa in bulk saves money because you have control over how much you are buying, as opposed to a pre-packaged container that has a set price. Grocery retailers such as Wholefoods, Native Sun, and Earth Fare have designated bulk sections that make shopping easy and enjoyable. Next time you go to the natural foods grocery store, make sure to stop by the by the bulk section and see just how many options there are. Don't forget to bring a pencil and pad to write the PLU numbers down so cashiers can easily identify the item.
