A large myth when it comes to couponing is that you can only get the packaged, high in sat. fat foods on sale because of the manufacture's coupons. I am here to prove that is not true. I am one of the millions of American's that are overweight and dieting. But even more than that, I want my family to get the nutrition they need to stay healthy. I am doing the weight watcher's diet, which in my mind is the best meal plan for anyone out there trying to lose weight AND live a healthy lifestyle.
It is tough when other blogs out there are raving about free ice cream. I admit I fell into it as well, getting free ice cream, buying 10 hamburger helpers because they were so cheap... But you can get items that are healthy for inexpensive as well. For example, yogurt (which you will probably never see me buy because it makes me yack.. unless I feel like making fruit & yogurt parfait) or milk or Albies does sales all the time on produce, and even fish. You should be saving so much money on the staples (salad dressing, sauces etc.) its ok sometimes to spend a little more and get that yummy salmon from the butcher.
The shopping trips ahead I am committing myself to finding the best deals on produce, fish, dairy, and whole grains. But also its okay to have a little treat (like the free McCafe at McDonalds today.. just if your hungry get a fruit & yogurt parfait or something LoL)
