"With the price of groceries constantly rising, many of us are needing to tighten the financial belt by being more selective during a shopping spree. Being frugal doesn't necessarily mean buying less or choosing the cheapest items, as selecting food that will fill you up and reduce craving for other foods can also lead to spending less on food overall. Protein and fiber are both responsible for keeping us full and balancing blood sugar levels, so foods that contain both"
"From legumes such as beans and lentils, to grains like rice and oats, there are plenty of grocery staples that can give you the nourishment you need without breaking the bank. Even meat doesn't need to be off limits entirely. With a little forward planning and choosing cheaper cuts that are versatile and freeze well, saving money doesn't need to mean missing out on your favorite meals."
Rising grocery prices force shoppers to prioritize foods that maximize fullness per dollar rather than simply choosing the cheapest items. Protein and fiber both promote satiety and help balance blood sugar, so foods containing both are strong budget choices. Legumes, such as beans and lentils, and grains like rice and oats provide long-lasting nourishment at low cost. Planning and choosing inexpensive, versatile meat cuts that freeze well allows meat to remain in a frugal diet. Beans are especially economical and filling: navy beans provide about 19 grams of fiber per cup, and dried beans can cost roughly $0.20 per serving. Canned beans also offer affordable convenience.
