Despite USDA reviews, anecdotal evidence, and plenty of articles from magazines and websites like ours, there’s still this prevailing, problematic idea that eating healthy has to be expensive and difficult. But that’s just not the case. Even in fall and winter, when fresh produce may seem a little more difficult to come by, nutrient-rich, seasonal superfoods are still affordable and available, even for tight budgets and those in low-access neighborhoods.

Environmental activists have a new statistic to add to their arsenal in the fight against those pesky plastic grocery bags. They have proof that taxing the plastic bags at the store dramatically reduces the number of bags used and has far-reaching support from consumers once implemented. In fact, in Wales, the number of bags handed out has dropped 96%. Even better, the percentage of voters who support the taxis up to 70%. Do you think that the US should follow suit? More
We’re entering a time zone where suddenly, 24 hours feel more like 14, and 10 things to do feel more like 30: It’s the holiday season, and it will seriously mess with your diet, workouts, sleep. Oh, and it will definitely stress you out. For most of us, maintaining a healthy routine is infinitely harder between now and January than the rest of the year (when, mind you, it wasn’t really ‘easy,’ either). So even the best of us resort to takeout to avoid the extra trouble of cooking. But eventually pizza, sushi, and french fries start to make you feel really gross. Which is why you need an emergency grocery list. More
Now that I’m a freelancer, some weeks are leaner than others. Thanks to some unexpected expenses this week, I’m keeping myself on a tight budget for the next week or so. But it’s always hard to make decisions about which expenses to cut back on, and, unfortunately, my health became a low priority. More
There’s a bad rumor going around about healthy food: That it’s expensive, and way out of range unless you’re rich or you live in a big city with fancy stores (which I suppose is another way of saying: you’re rich). That’s not always true, but according to a recent study, the perception of health food as being expensive might just be perpetuating our attitude that we can’t eat well on the cheap: Researchers have found what they call the “labeling effect,’ whereby high prices hook buyers into believing a product is worthy—regardless of taste or other markers of quality.

Grocery shoppers who use carts are less likely to make unhealthy, impulse buys than those carrying baskets, but why not avoid the whole thing, and get most of your groceries online? More
One of the easiest ways to eat healthier is to simply ban your “bad foods” from your house. You may crave junk food, but chances are you wouldn’t leave your house for it (most of the time). But the tricky part of that trick is that it’s hard not to buy the bad stuff at the supermarket to begin with. (Rules about shopping while hungry are cliche, but true: On an empty stomach, I always come away with a cart full of crackers, cheese, and beer.) Researchers have found one incredibly simple way to make less unhealthy food choices at the grocery store: Push a cart instead of carrying a basket. More
While debit cards are undoubtedly convenient and can alleviate the stress of praying you have enough in your wallet to cover your bill, it turns out paying with cash at the grocery store can make you eat better. More
