Stretching Your Fruit & Veggie Budget


Stretching Tips for your Fruit & Vegetable Budget - www.fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov

Want some ideas for how to stretch your fruit and vegetable budget?  Click here for a list of 30 suggestions compiled by the CDC.  Here are a few examples of the ideas on their list:

*  Homemade soup is a healthy and tasty way to use vegetables.  Make a big batch and freeze leftovers in small lunch-size containers.  Buy dried beans, peas, and lentils in their raw or uncooked form instead of the processed and packaged versions which cost more.

*  Buy in bulk with friends and share the cost.  This is an especially good idea for small families or anyone who lives alone.

*  Get creative with your leftover fruits and vegetables.  Make salsa from your tomatoes, onions, and peppers.  Make smoothies from your fruits.
