Looking to eat healthy and still save money?
Whole Foods Market offers some online resources to help you do just that.
The Whole Deal is a savings specific part of the Whole Foods site. First off, it offers some good Coupons that you can print out. Then there’s Sure Deals, which is a list of everyday low-priced items that give you high-quality goods for less. Lastly, there’s Three Under $3, which is exactly what it sounds like. That’s a nice bunch of specials to help you save when shopping at Whole Foods.
On top of the deals, this section of the site offers some very useful information and resources.
Their money-saving meal plans can help you cook up some cost-conscious meal ideas for one or a whole family. Some of them are pretty tasty looking. Worth checking out.
Learn to Cook, Learn to Save empowers people to save money by teaching them to cook their own food. Right now, the focus is on quinoa.
Quinoa is a great Peruvian grain that’s very high in protein. It’s quite filling, but easily digestible and can be used like rice with just about any sort of food. It has a slightly nuttier, more roasted flavor than rice. Kids like it and it’s healthier for them than rice, too.
I’m really a huge quinoa fan. It’s great to mix with sauteed mushrooms, peas, dressings, or you serve as a side with almost anything. If you’re going to a BBQ or potluck, cook the quinoa with some soup stock and mix in some veggies after you cook it. Makes a great dish.
Anyway, check out the Whole Deal — good deals, good savings, and good grub.
