Buying food in bulk, in season, and that has multiple uses are strategies for shopping healthy on a budget. Buying in bulk reduces the per unit price and the number of trips to the grocery store. Items are cheaper when in season and buying versatile ingredients like rice, pasta, and beans allows you to create many meals. Frozen, canned, and fresh foods can all be inexpensive options depending on the item.
