Waste Not - Want Not
• Plan your meals for the week ahead of time and only buy what you need for that week in fruits and vegetables. Also, remember your freezer is your friend. If you can't eat those strawberries right away, freeze them!
Join a Food Co-op or CSA
•Food co-ops carry a wide range of high quality food for the same or cheaper prices than conventional stores. Simply can't be beat.
•Forming a CSA allows you to buy straight from the farmer so you get great fresh food and you have the added benefit of knowing exactly where your food is coming from and how it was grown.
Kick the Water Bottle Habit
• Investing in a good BPA-free water bottle (like the one that BTH&W sells) will save you hundreds of dollars a year in bottled water and its much better for our envoirnment.
Stop Eating Junk Food
• Processed packaged foods, although the immediate price may be low, pays a toll on your health and that is more than anyone can afford.
