Is It Possible To Eat Healthy On A Budget?

I'll be honest, eating healthy can often seem expensive. Like, realllllly expensive. It's easy to think you can't eat healthy unless you blow your whole paycheck at Whole Foods. Which is a total bummer, because healthy eating isn't something that only super rich people can afford to do AND in reality you can eat healthy by shopping in your regular store within a budget that works for you. You just need a little know-how to make it work!

My take is this: yes, eating healthy is going to cost more than eating fast food for every meal, but a) investing in your health is sooo worth it and b) it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.

I sat down with financial planner extraordinaire and founder of Workable Wealth, Mary Beth Storjohann, on her Work Your Wealth podcast and shared my best tips and tricks on how to eat healthy without breaking the bank.
