Good Food on a Tight Budget: The Ultimate Healthy Food & Grocery Shopping Resource

I am so excited about this and can't wait to share it with you. Just a couple weeks ago, The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released what is one of the most comprehensive, user friendly and inclusive grocery shopping resources I've seen.

The Good Food on a Tight Budget guide "lists the most nutritious, most economical and least polluted fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains and dairy items." The list also includes cooking fats & oils, as well as staples & spices, and is narrowed down to the top 100 foods, from nearly 1,200, after looking at "food prices, nutrients, pesticides, environmental pollutants and artificial ingredients." 


The free PDF also includes health & shopping tips, a shopping list, recipes, and links to other EWG resources like the Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce, Meat Eater's Guide, Cereal Report, and Fish List.

The Good Food on a Tight Budget guide mostly includes common foods that are probably already a part of your regular diet, many of which are labeled by the EWG as "Best Buys," such as: bananas, broccoli, canned light tuna, chickpeas, eggs, peanuts, and turkey.

I encourage you to download your copy today and use the shopping list on your next grocery shopping trip!
