For many diabetics the choices are fairly limited at their local grocer and when the prices go up and their budget doesn’t, they start cutting corners and that is when problems begin. Here is a list of tips that may help you stick with your ‘healthy diabetic’ food choices at the store- and won’t break the bank…

1. Buy boneless packs of meet that are ‘family’ size and separate them into smaller packets when you return home.

2. But large cottage cheese or yogurt containers and then split them into smaller individual containers or even ziploc bags.

3. Canned fruits and veggies are always cheaper then fresh produce

4. Frozen veggies in large sized packets without sauces or creams are less expensive and can be added to anything or divided to make smaller portions.

5. Powdered dry milk has a long shelf life and costs bunches less.

6. Large portions of dry oats can be used in the morning instead of instant oatmeal for a heck of a lot less.

7. Always buy generic when you can- it tastes no different in my opinion. My hubby argues the ketchup but that is his deal.

8. Bottles of water costs a lot less then bottles of soda or iced tea- and it is better for you.
