USDA offers new resource for healthy eating on a budget

Want to make better eating decisions on a conservative budget? The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) launched a new tool to help consumers make better decisions at the grocery store.

According to the USDA, Healthy Eating on a Budget is the newest addition to www.ChooseMyPlate.gov and includes easy-to-use and insightful information about planning meals, shopping smart at the grocery store and preparing foods that save money and time in the kitchen.

Healthy foods aren’t always more expensive. USDA offers strategies to empower low-income families to purchase healthier foods. Visit Healthy Eating on a Budget section of www.ChooseMyPlate.gov for more information.
